it would be nice if disklabel were in there...  i don't like having netbsd
install onto only one partition, as the stock netbsd-amiga install does.
i usually let netbsd have it's way with the partition it newfs's, and then
i normally would use disklabel to see which other partitions i need to
newfs, then mount them in the /mnt/{.,usr,var} and let the items install
via Extract as normal.
