Sure, you have plenty of hope ;-)  The real question is:  Just how much
stuff you do you want to install on your drive?  Basically, I'd recommend
figuring out how much space you want to keep for the MacOS, and then
figure out what you want to do with NetBSD.  I believe that 80 MB will be
enough for the base and etc distribution with a little space left over for
swap.  I'm about to install onto an 80 MB hard drive in an attempt to
prove this ;-)

Perhaps someone else will have a slightly better idea of what size some of
the other packages are, though.

I hope this helps some.

Later.
