Ok so it does need C to be the netbsd partition and D the rest of the disk
and have 16 partitions - like i386.  Which is what I've done.


It probably needs something for the boot partition as well...
It is easy to stop make_bsd_partitions() using F and set that up in the
MD code after make_bsd_partitions has finished.
Then it is just a matter of forcing the mbr code to DTRT.
