It will probably fit within 50 MB or so.  I _thought_ that I had the sizes
in the latest version of the INSTALL doc that I made up, but it appears
that either CVS munged it or else I screwed up :-(  I'll have to
recalculate the sizes for the X distribution.  I'll post to the list once
I've got this done (but my connection to ftp.netbsd.org is a bit slow
today, so it might be a while).

Disklabel doesn't work yet, so you'll have to partition it from within
NetBSD.  You can use newfs instead of Mkfs, tho.

Later.
