I'd look into the "special BIOS sleep partition" idea. My laptop uses one.
There was a little DOS utility that the docs mentioned to set it up (for
when you do a custom install). Could be your BIOS doesn't actually check
the MBR but thinks there's one, and writes it, even though the MBR might
say that part of the disk is for NetBSD. :-|

Just a hypothesis.

Take care,
