Manual. Geert already responded with a answer to the second question.

I hooked up an IDE drive. Different controller, different drive, same problem
(can't partition). I ended up using a combination of HDToolbox, mke2fs and
managed to get past the partitioning. Running 'install base system' now...
parted 1.6.9 doesn't really seem to like AmigaOS RDB. mklabel fails, sorry, I
do not have the actual error message. I suspect I used a ZIP disk without an
RDB for my first installation attempt.
/usr/share/partitioner/m68k.sh references amiga-fdisk (but that doesn't seem
to exist on the system).
