But does the BIOS care whether there is something partitioned at that
place?  If not then just make sure you don't have any partition over it
in your disklabel.

If the BIOS does care about what MBR says for its hibernation space,
then you should know that it doesn't actually matters what the NetBSD
MBR partition is, you can reference the whole disk in the disklabel.

You create a MBR parition for NetBSD of an arbitrary size, then you
partition your disk exactly as you like in the disklabel.
