The problem is that without fdisk you have no MBR, and the BIOS will not load
the first part of the NetBSD bootloader.

Some systems are supposed to be able to boot from a GPT partition table
and I would love to add sysinst support for that directly, however I've
been unable to get my hands on such a system so far.
