I'm trying to build a dual-boot machine, Windows 98 and NetBSD.  I 
installed NetBSD first (it was a blank disk), leaving fdisk room for 
Windows.  But the Windows installer is complaining about not being able 
to read the last cluster on the MS-DOS partition.  (I copied /dev/zero 
to it and then formatted it with newfs_msdos -F 32.)  Does the 
partition need to have some special properties, such as cylinder 
alignment or an integer multiple of some number of sectors?  And if 
so, why didn't newfs_msdos at least print a warning?
