I used FSTAB to mount the Dev volume I use as part of the Root File
system this was painless!
There are many articles about this in regards to a swap partition on the
net you may want to try this..

For now at least, the Developer Tools (including the documentation)
really need to exist on the root volume. Having parts of the Developer
Tools on different volumes (using symlinks) is not a supported
configuration. I would strongly suggest moving to a larger root volume
(and yes, I personally know how painful that is :(). In the future it
would be nice to decouple the Developer Tools from the root volume, but
for today we are stuck with this constraint.

I'm trying to make some room on my OS X partition by moving out the
huge /Developer/Documentation directory. I've tried this by doing:
[localhost:/Developer] fz% sudo tcsh
[localhost:/Developer] root# ditto -v -rsrcFork Documentation
/Volumes/OS9/Docs
[localhost:/Developer] root# rm -rf Documentation
[localhost:/Developer] root# ln -s /Volumes/OS9/Docs Documentation
[localhost:/Developer] root# exit
[localhost:/Developer] fz%
This seems to work generally (that is, I can still navigate the Help
files, in both Project Builder and Help Viewer.app)...except for one
glitch that I noticed so far: on "Developer Help Center", the .gifs
are missing. In other words, the browser is no longer finding them
in /Volumes/OS9/Docs/Help/Developer Help Viewer/gfx/ (where they sit).
Questions:
1) Why is this? (Because of the spaces in the path?)
2) Are there any more serious problems down the road?
Will this setup survive future Dev Tools upgrades?
3) Is there a more foolproof way to proceed?
