many people have found that the various installation tools (and the kernel
as well) work better when the netbsd partition is within the first GB or
so of the disk.  i'm not sure why this is the case, but that's just they
way it works.  if you could repartition your disk and put the BSD
partition first, it will probably work for you.

we are working on newer installation tools that will avoid these kinds of
problems (we hope).
