Oh, it was really simple and straightforward. I have had a GPT partition
made - mostly - from NetBSD. They looks more or less like that (gfdisk
format):

Number  Start (sector)    End (sector)  Size       Code  Name
   1            2048            6143   2.0 MiB     EF02  boot_other
   3          585728        59179007   27.9 GiB    8300  xubuntu_root
   4        59179008       234960895   83.8 GiB    8300  home
   5       234960896       236961791   977.0 MiB   A902  netbsd_root
   6       236961792       238962687   977.0 MiB   A902  netbsd_altroot
   7       238962688       246962175   3.8 GiB     A902  netbsd_var
   8       246962176       254961663   3.8 GiB     A901  netbsd_swap
   9       254961664       373047295   56.3 GiB    A902  netbsd_usr
  10       373047296       432090111   28.2 GiB    A902  netbsd7_root

Partition number 10, labeled as 'netbsd7_root' were created especially
for NetBSD 7_beta installation.

So.. I run installer, hit 'install', 'yes', 'extended partitioning',
then I got wedges list, from dk0 to dk8, in order related to partitions 
order. I selected 'dk8', took 'edit', toggled 'newfs', set 'mount' to 
'/' and 'flags' to 'log,noatime' and then 'ok'.

After that I took 'save' or 'finish' (at this moment I don't remember 
and I'm reluctant to restore partition table again).

Finally my partitions and wedges were recreated with some errors 
(sorry but they disappeared in fast rate) and my partition table
got following shape (take a look at duplicates 1,2 and 3,4):

Number  Start (sector)    End (sector)  Size       Code  Name
   1            2048            6143   2.0 MiB     FFFF  primary
   2            2048            6143   2.0 MiB     A902  boot_other
   3          585728        59179007   27.9 GiB    FFFF  xubuntu_root
   4          585728        59179007   27.9 GiB    8300  home
   5        59179008       234960895   83.8 GiB    8300  netbsd_root
   6       234960896       236961791   977.0 MiB   A902  netbsd_altroot
   7       236961792       238962687   977.0 MiB   A902  netbsd_var
   8       238962688       246962175   3.8 GiB     A902  netbsd_swap
   9       246962176       254961663   3.8 GiB     A901  netbsd_usr
  10       254961664       373047295   56.3 GiB    A902  netbsd7_root
  11       373047296       432090111   28.2 GiB    A902
