Basically, you need to arrange for the NetBSD "slice" that overlays
the Extended Partition to start 1 head past the beginning of the extended
partition. E.g. if you have 63 sectors/head, then start it 63 sectors after
the start of the extended partition. Same thing for Linux partitions in
an extended partition.
