Hi!

I wanted to install NetBsd on my PC but when I had to set up a partition
I stoped because I was unsure if my other OS won't be damaged.

The menu tells me the following:
The value for the number of cylinders may have been truncated to 1024.
This is ok as long as the other numbers are correct; only 1024 cylinders can
be specified in the MBR, the rest will be found in a different way by NetBsd.

Make sure that the values are correct and match those used by other systems on
this disk. Values that do not match may result in data corruption.

Geometry:
real geom: 16383 cyl, 16 heads, 63 sec
BIOS geom: 1027 cyl, 255 heads, 63 sec

		a: Reenter geometry
		b: continue with install

My other OS on the drive are winNT and Linux. What can I do to install NetBsd?
