I hesitate to say it, but "me too".  My HD is set up in pretty much the same way - the small stuff at the beginning (drivers etc), then a 2 Gbyte MacOS partition, then a 2 Gbyte partition for NetBSD, then a small swap partition, followed by a 2 Gbyte Debian GNU Linux (which is installed and working) followed by a small swap partition for Debian GNU/Linux.  I'm experimenting with various OSes (OSen?) which is why I have the somewhat baroque set-up.

Does the NetBSD installer have a problem with large HDs?
