The DOS Partition 3 is a little small it seems.
Mine looks something like:
-------------------------------------- 8< --------------------------------------
NetBSD disklabel disk geometry:
cylinders: 16383 heads: 16 sectors/track: 63 (1008 sectors/cylinder)
BIOS disk geometry:
cylinders: 1023 heads: 255 sectors/track: 63 (16065 sectors/cylinder)
Partition table:
0: sysid 169 (NetBSD)
start 63, size 19640817 (9590 MB), flag 0x80
beg: cylinder 0, head 1, sector 1
end: cylinder 1022, head 254, sector 63
1: <UNUSED>
2: <UNUSED>
3: <UNUSED>
-------------------------------------- 8< --------------------------------------
Use 'fdisk -u sd0' to assign enough space to the partition to
contain your disklabel partitions.
Hope this helps
