One semi-obvious point worth mentioning: since NetBSD doesn't have a
/dev/sda or /dev/sd0 or whatever (number=letter, letter=number, etc.), you
have to specify /dev/sd0c or /dev/sd1c or whatever... the whole drive
partition....  Kind of logical, but I thought I should mention it before
someone tried to add a partition table in the middle of an HFS partition.
Not sure what it would do....  :-)
