unfortunately no, i don't. not off the top of my head anyway. netbsd
was the first 600 meg (or so) and the dos partition was next (size
relatively unknown). then a few linux filesystems and a swap partition.
i can probably guess about the order, but i have no idea about the sizes.

while i can probably find the dos partition easily enough. i don't
need any of that. i was gonna trash it anyway. i want the other
stuff. :(
