I seem to remember just ignoring that message (I think it was a warning, not
an error) and going on. I set up a 7500 with 2 1GB drives; used 1/2 G for
MacOS and some Mac stuff, and put a 96MB swap partion on the same drive.
Used the whole other drive for /. Didn't do a /usr partition 'cuz I
couldn't anticipate how much I'd need for /usr and for /everything else.
