Disk partitions: autorecovery, aux-root, swap, etc.

I have a Dataframe 150XP and I've set it up for A/UX. I did this
using dp and created only 1 partition: the A/UX root partition.
I did not create any autorecovery, eschatology, Mac_HFS, or swap
partitions. I've heard from SuperMac that their current driver
does not support Mac_HFS partitions (please inform me if I'm wrong).
This doesn't bother me that much, but I don't have other
partitions like swap and the eschatology partitions.
How do I create these? I can make a tar tape and save what I've got.
Do I have to reformat the disk? How big do each of the partitions
have to be?
If I don't have a swap partition, does this imply that I'm not taking
advantage of virtual memory?
Has anyone formatted their own A/UX disk (especially a Dataframe)?
How did you make the different partitions. I finally have the manuals
now, but the description of dp(1) is not too clear regarding
partitioning strategy. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
