I don't hope so.
I spend some time to test my changes with an RDB and an MBR installation.

0x4e444f53 = "NDOS". This is not a valid NetBSD partition.
Did that really work before my last changes? It shouldn't. :)

Why can't it create these partition? I could create them.

For a valid NetBSD root partition you should use 0x4e425207, IIRC.
You can also refer to the port-amiga documentation for partition
preparations, as the required steps are exactly the same.

Ususally you will select "Custom file system" and then enter the ID
0x4e425307. I'm currently at the office, but I can give you more detailed
instructions when I am back home, if you like. Do you run MorphOS 1.x or 2.x?
