Sorry this is wrong.  Using Mkfs 1.4, you don't need to create A/UX 
partitions.  You can simply create MacOS partitions (or whatever kind you 
want) and then use Mkfs to properly set them up for use with NetBSD.

As for formatting, I believe that he meant that he formatted using Mkfs 
1.4, not that he reformatted with a MacOS formatter.

I hope this helps.

Later.
