Remove the text which warns against using a case-insensitive file system
on Mac OS X - that hasn't been true for about a year.

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.
