Everything works fine now. I think I know what the problem was, APS
PowerTools 4.1 is buggy! (Besides having a graphically overburdened
user interface that don't behave very well or Mac like.) 

I think the partitions that was created the first time was broken. Now
when I tried to repartition APS PowerTool trashed the whole disk
contents without a decent error message. When I tried to redo the
partitioning it just refused to open the partition dialog, no error
messages. Tried version 4.07 of the same tool and it told me the disk
was damaged. Luckily I backed up the Mac partition just before
partitioning.

I remember that I had the same problems with the old APS tool
(Alliance PowerTool or similar) and I belive that was a totally
different program from a different vendor.  Maybe the A/UX part of
some partitioning software don't get tested well enough because there
are so few users (and we all leave testing to the users, don't we ;-).

I reformatted and repartitioned using the same tool, APS PowerTools
4.1, but created MacOS partitions only and after unmounting them from
the desktop I converted them to NetBSD partitions with Mkfs
1.45. After this the installation worked with no problems at all!
