ufs to macOS

[Andrew Stout]

I'd suggest zapping the ufs partition with a reliable utility...I 
haven't had the chance to play with OS X's disk utility yet, but the 
OS 9 one couldn't alter anything without wiping everything.  You 
could do it with the partitioner in the YDL install if you were 
really careful, or you could get a real partitioner, like perldisk or 
pdisk...

HTH,
Andrew Stout
