eeek.

a) you need 128-, 230- or 540- MB disks. 
640 MB disks have 2 K /sector, which is not correctly handled by NetBSD up to
1.4.

b1) use the all-disk "partition" and tar.

b2) use the all-disk "partition" and Linux ext2fs. NetBSD can handle this, 
    if you compile "file-system ext2fs" into your kernel.
