How do I partition /, /usr, swap, /mn/u1, /mn/u2, /mn/u3
on different scsi disks after booting NetBSD with kcoth11 
and inst-11 disks? I've tried install, but it just put /, swap
and /usr on the same disk. I've read NetBSD.faq00-09 without luck.
It tells about a Fixit disk I can make AFTER I've installed /, /usr and
swap on the same hd. I've got 3 scsi disks.

All partitions (except dos) are type a5 defined using fdisk under linux.
NetBSD doesn't recognize them under boot-up, should it? 

What I'm looking for are standard procedure making partitions already defined
active.

Thanks!
