Ummmm....I think that we might have real problems with a drive containing
HFS+ partitions.  I want to say that someone (Steve Allen, maybe?) ran
into this a few months ago.  However, there are other known problems with
large drives and having the NetBSD partitions towards the end of the
drive.  In general, I find that NetBSD works better when it's at the
beginning of a drive or on the drive by itself.

Later.
