Hi,

I really don't want to break windows up into two partitions. I would like
to make root for netbsd the first partition and make it like say a gig or
so. Then make all of windows the next partition and then put the rest of
NetBSD after windows. The problem I am having is that when I divide the
disk with NetBSD, then  window's fdisk doesn't read anything so I
can't make the windows partitions active and windows will end up
installing on the first partition.
