I've got a 425t running NetBSD 1.3, upgraded from 1.2.  I recall that the
most difficult and time consuming part of the 1.2 install was calculating
proper partition sizes for a disklabel.  I was wondering if there might be
a quicker, easier way to do this.

For instance, would FreeBSD's disk partitioning utility create a partition
map and disklabel that would work with NetBSD hp300?  If not, anyone have
any ideas on places to start?

I rather like the spartan nature of the install, but I do think that an
easier disklabel process might be an improvement.
