$NetBSD: README.MacOSX,v 1.1.1.1 2004/03/11 13:03:59 grant Exp $

Please read "README.Darwin" first, as it applies to Mac OS X.
|
|
|
|
Since most Macintoshes come with only 1 disk installed, and you
|
|
want to have your pkgsrc UFS partition on that disk, there's a
|
|
little trick you will have to do.
|
|
|
|
The problem is that none of the disk tools will let you touch a
|
|
disk that is booted from. In my case, I have a 30G drive that I
|
|
partitioned 4G for Classic/OS9, 4G for pkgsrc, and the rest for OS
|
|
X. Now, you can unmount the pkgsrc partition, but even if you
|
|
newfs it, the partition map will show the partition as Apple_HFS
|
|
and not Apple_UFS as automounter needs it to say. The result of
|
|
that newfs would be that the partition wouldn't be automounted,
|
|
and if you manually mount it, it won't appear in Finder.
|
|
|
|
You'll need to boot off of the OS X Installation (User) CD. When
|
|
the Installtion program starts, go up to the menu and select Disk
|
|
Utility. Now, you will be able to select the partition you want
|
|
to be UFS, and Format it Apple UFS.
|
|
|
|
Once you've done that, you Quit the Disk Utility and Quit the
|
|
Installer... which will reboot your computer. Now the new UFS
|
|
partition will show up, but the permissions will be set to root,
|
|
so you won't be able to write to it. You'll have to chown the
|
|
mount point to you (/Volumes/whatever).
|
|
|
|
This note is as of 10.2 (Jaguar) and applies to earlier versions.
|
|
[Hopefully Apple will fix Disk Utility in 10.3 (Panther)].
