Disklabeling from NetBSD does not work. You must use some program that
knows about RigidDiskBlocks to partition your disk.

And yup, the BOIL software is rather buggy (it doesn't like some
variants of HD_SCSICMD for instance and sometimes gives bogus error
codes).

Use the BOIL install program to do whatever you would do with
HDToolbox. That's how I got NetBSD installed (ages ago). Maybe use
the "rdb" program if you need to make small adjustments afterwards.
"rdb" used to be on uni-regensburg.
