OK, modified to
Note Currently NetBSD 1.4.2_ALPHA requires a dedicated drive if it is
going to be run from a local disk drive. In other words, NetBSD
1.4.2_ALPHA cannot be installed on the hard drive on which MacOS
and/or any other oparating systems reside. This is because the
NetBSD 1.4.2_ALPHA install tools currently do not support Apple's
Disk Partition Map.
