At this point you could use the already existing partitions and point
sysinst at them. In the "Available disks" menu near the end, before
"Extended partitioning" you should see a menu item
Preconfigured "wedges" dk(4)
and if the GPT partitions had the right GUIDs it would even recognize a
swap partition next to a NetBSD ffs partition.
Could you upload a smallish/compressed disk image with a hybrid GPT
somewhere, please?
