+PARTITION(8)              Minix Programmer's Manual               PARTITION(8)
+
+
+NAME
+     partition - make a partition table
+
+SYNOPSIS
+     partition [-mf] device [type:]size[+*] ...
+
+DESCRIPTION
+     Partition makes a partition table on device using  the  types  and  sizes
+     given.   It  may be used in combination with repartition(8) for automatic
+     installation of Minix.
+
+     You may give up to four type:size[+*] specifications for the  partitions.
+     You  may also specify holes before, between, and after the partitions.  A
+     hole differs from a partition specification by not having a type.
+
+     The first hole is by default 1 sector  to  make  space  for  the  primary
+     bootstrap and the partition table.  The other holes are 0.
+
+     The type field is the type of the partitition in hexadecimal.   The  size
+     field  is  the partition's size in sectors.  The + or * may optionally be
+     added to indicate that the partition must  be  expanded  to  contain  any
+     leftover space on the device or to mark the partition active.
+
+     Partitions are padded out to cylinder boundaries, except  for  the  first
+     one,  it  starts  on  track  1.   Some operating systems care about this.
+     Minix and MS-DOS do not.
+
+OPTIONS
+
+     -m   Minix only, no need to pad partitions.   This  is  the  default  for
+          subpartition tables.
+
+     -f   Force making a partition table even if the device is too small.
+
+EXAMPLE
+     partition /dev/hd0 01:16384 81:40000 81:2880* 06:20000+
+
+     Partitions disk 0 into an 8 Mb DOS partition, 20 Mb Minix /usr,  1.44  Mb
+     Minix / (active), and a DOS partition of at least 10 Mb at the end of the
+     disk.  (06:0+ would have been ok too, it's just a sanity check.)
