Does anyone out there know of a way to bypass the "default" hard disk
partitioning on the UNIX PC?  By default the UNIX PC partitions the
entire disk (minus the swap space) into the root "/" filesystem/partition.
I would like to divide it up into a /, /usr, /u.  Maybe even a fourth, like
/backup for a unmounted partition to keep backups of programs? 

Can anyone point me in the right direction, using "mkfs"?  How can I use
it to make other partitions on something already formatted with "/" only?

						Thanks in advance,
