I'm not sure, but I don't think that NetBSD could easily handle this (I
think the filesystem size is a rather important part of the initial
filesystem setup).  You might want to read the newfs manpage just to be
sure, tho.

However, if you've got the extra space, and don't yet have 6 netbsd
partitions, you can always change the extra space into another netbsd
partition (a Usr type partition), and then mount it within netbsd and use
it however you wish.

I hope this helps.

Later.
