Try applying the rule: don't lie.  At present, NetBSD lies to the user 
about DOS style partitioned disks.  BTW, both i386 and PReP native tend 
to have DOS style partitioning, in addition any other system that tries 
to mount one of those disks (NetBSD supports endian independant file 
systems right :-)
