The programs disklabel and diskpart are the tools to use. I hadn't used=20=
these
in years. And unfortunately, I haven't had the time to write a simple=20
interface
which would ask how large of a disk one wants for the various=20
partitions...
Just as an aside, 'fdisk' does know how to read a NetBSD partitioned=20
disk,
so perhaps one could also write a partition table with fdisk... of=20
course you would
have to be running linux...
