Yes, exactly! Since I wanted two partitions, one for usr, one for the
rest, I created an "A/UX Root" partition and an "A/UX Usr" partition.

So what you are saying is that I should have made both of them
"A/UX Root&Usr" partitions... Damn! Now I have to borrow my friends
Jaz drive again and repartition my hard drive. I guess I am
willing to live with it for now. Is this why netbsd keeps complaining
that /dev/sd0a and /dev/sd0g are not clean, and prompts me to
fsck them?

If I get the source and build my own kernel, where in the source could
I modify the kernel to accept Slice, Free, etc?

Having burned many unnecessary cycles getting this installed, I am
highly motivated to participate in creating documentation on 
pre-install and install and config steps for the complete novice. 
I've started gathering FAQs and some listserv stuff, can anyone point
me to other useful documents to incorporate into this?
