+
+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)].
