hi
now  your pcmcia is only with fat32
so copy the instalation kernel on it and run it
you have there options to repartition the hd so make for example 1g fat32
and 1g netbsd
then reboot the z50 and wince will find unformated partition and will
format the 1g fat32
now copy the instalation packeges and rerun instalation kernel
and now the netbsd  will format only the other 1g as you want it and start
the instalation
this is the abstract - look back few month ago on the list - you will find
detailed explanation how to format netbsd on the instalation process
good luck
