i don't have any experience using WinNT and NetBSD together and my WinNT
experience is very limited.  HOWEVER!!!!!  i must advise that you don't just
split the drive in half.  make 2 partitions for NT (system slice and data 
slice) because there is a very large chance you will need to re-install NT
down the road.  trust me, it *will* happen.  if your data is on one slice and
your OS on the other when it comes time to re-install NT you don't lose any
of your hard work.  since this is recommended, NT's boot-slice and NetBSD's
boot-slice can both exist below 1024.  

it is also recommended that you put / and /usr on different slices under UNIX.
me? i always create the following slices (for any unix, NetBSD, Linux, Solaris,
doesn't matter) ::

/
/usr
/var
/tmp
/usr/local
/export/home
swap

just my $0.02

that Unix was designed to please programmers, whereas the Mac was designed to 
please users. (Windows, on the other hand, was designed to please accountants, 
but that's another story.)
