In order to install NetBSD onto a disk you either need to
dedicate the entire disk to netbsd, or repartition the disk
into an AmigaOS part and a NetBSD part. It _might_ be
possible to do the latter without wiping the disk if someone
has written a program for it, but either way its a much better
idea to back the machine up before installing.
