Huh?  This is *trivial* in NetBSD: you just arrange partitions
around the space occupied by the other OS.   You don't even
need to set up an "unused" partition. -:)

The hard part about sharing a disk with another OS is 
telling the other OS not to scribble over NetBSD-occupied
space, and about telling the BIOS how to boot one versus
the other OS.
