 Why would you care about start and end sectors, or file system types?
 This is the "broad overview" and you only select how much of your disk
 you offer to NetBSD - or something like that. On the second stage you
 typically just accept whatever the first stage created ;-)
 
 But as this is NetBSD we offer all the rope, and the rope we offer should
 work - so the real bugs you pointed out need to be fixed.
