Leave enough *totally unpartitioned* space in the fdisk table, and it'll
use that instead; my 50 originally smashed the middle of the disk (and Windows
evidently knew to let it, but NetBSD Just Lost) but when I left 33 or 34MB
of totally unpartitioned space at the end of the disk it obligingly smashed
that, instead, leaving both my Windows and NetBSD partitions alone.
