Well, the only problem there is that NetBSD doesn't yet really have
support for handling multiple MBR partitions, so you would have to
hand edit the BSD disk label in the first MBR partition to get this
right. Other than that, I believe this would work for you just fine.

Someone else should probably confirm that this first, though.
