  Sorry. I was thinking something different from what I wrote. Mark
the remaining space as being used, but not NetBSD. I'd just mark it as
used to prevent some stupid Win95 program from thinking you have disk
space that it can play with. In the NetBSD *label* in partition 2, you
make sure that C covers 2,3,4 and that d covers the entire disk.

  You are saying to have:

DOS:	| 200Mb DOS | 1500Mb NetBSD | 1300Mb DOS |
NetBSD: [     g     | a  | b | e |f |     h      |
                     200Mb           

  You are right. This is simpler.
