 Overall, a NetBSD GPT partitioning is very confusing. Ideally, I would like
 a simple GPT partitioning to go like this:
 
 1. Add EFI partition for NetBSD with specified size. Mark _this_ as the
 =C2=A0=C2=A0 partition to copy UEFI boot executables into. Ie. leave the ot=
 her
 =C2=A0=C2=A0 EFI boot partitions alone.
 
 2. Add one or more NetBSD FFSv2 partitions of specified sizes. For each,
 =C2=A0=C2=A0 I should be able to choose their mount points.
 
 3. Add one or more NetBSD swap partitions of specifies sizes. For each,
 =C2=A0=C2=A0 I should be able to say use these swap partitions only.
 
 This way lets me have more than one NetBSD installation on the disk.
 Right now it's not clear which EFI partition will be formatted to copy
 the NetBSD UEFI executables into. The same if I have multiple NetBSD
 swap partitions. Which one will be used is not clear at install time.
 
 Thanks,
 RVP
