I'm not sure, but I think this is a not-so-good idea. We don't really
support multiple NetBSD partitions. Though I bet your advice'll work, it
might break in a weird way. Instead, make partition 2 the size of
partitions 2 and 4 above (3067 / 2), and make sure ALL of partition a fits
within the first 470 Mb of the drive ( a 200 MB partition at the very
first of the NetBSD partition would be supper).

Take care,
