Broke down and bought a new monitor, but I'm back to not being able to 
install NETBSD.

Here's the deal:  I partition the drive up into four partitions (root, swap, 
usr, local) with the automount turned off, begin and end reserved blocks at 
0, etc.  I set the file system to "Custom File System" ...there isn't a 
DOSType on this screen so I go back to Add File System and add 0x4e425207, 
etc. as File Systems (since the default was L:fastfilesystem, I left that 
and entered the codes specified in the install documentation.)  I now have 
identifiers set up for the different partitions, so I go back in to Advanced 
Options and set the identifier to match the identifiers with the appropriate 
DOSType.

I still cannot get the install program to recognize my root partition...Are 
there special names that I should use for the partitions?

I'm still using WB2.0 on an A3000 with the old boot ROMs that let you switch 
between 1.3 and 2.0.  I have 6 meg of memory and pretty much nothing else 
worth mentioning.

Perhaps there is another partitioning utility I should use?  Do I have to 
upgrade AmigaDOS just to get NetBSD to work?

Any help is, as always, appreciated.
