Perhaps.  What I'm working on for a dual-boot system is:
	1 - Minimal HFS partition for ofwboot.xcf (since that seems to be
	    about the only partition type that OFW3 will understand on this
	    system)
	2 - HFS+ partition for OS X software that wants HFS or HFS+
	    (Virtual PC and X-Plane in very limited testing, although
	     X-Plane is perfectly happy with HFS or HFS+)
	3 - NetBSD Root & Usr partition
	4 - NetBSD Swap
	5 - UFS partition to be shared between OS X and NetBSD for most
	    user data.  THANK YOU DARRIN!!!!!!

As a note, it wasn't obvious to me how to get sysinst to respect
the MacOS partitioning.  I didn't try too hard (and I didn't read
the installation notes [-*-mw whacks briggs-*-], but IIRC, I was
dropped directly into a clean disklabel.  I ended up dropping out
and untarring the sets, etc., by hand.
