 I'm still noticing various issues:
 
 First start with empty disk and destroy all previous GPT structures
 
 1. Utility menu -> Run /bin/sh -> and run "gpt destroy wd0"
 
 Exit shell and now back to main install menu
 
 2. Install NetBSD... -> GPT -> Manually define partitions.
 
 3. Add a partition with the following options
 type: FFSv2
 start: 1M
 size: 2G
 install: Yes
 newfs: Yes (already set)
 mount: Yes
 mount point: /
 
 Add this partition
 
 Now go back to this partition and check previously set options
 
 Bug #1 - size is shown as 2047M, which is 1M less than 2G
 Bug #2 - newfs option has magically reverted to No
 
 Now if we continue with these options and select
 
 Partitions sizes ok -> Shall we continue? -> Yes
 
 It fails with the following errors (presumably due to Bug #2):
 Command failed... fsck_ffs... can't find superblock...
 
 After this continue as follows:
 
 It appears that /dev/XXX is not a ffs... Yes or no? -> No
 
 This brings back to main install menu. Now select
 
 Install NetBSD to hard disk -> Yes -> wd0 -> This is the correct
 geometry -> Manually define partitions
 
 Bug #3 - BOOM! Segmentation fault.
 
 Whatever previous install process did, caused memory corruption and
 restarting install again resulted in segfault.
