Hmm, I'm not sure I fully understand your problem, but the installer should=
contain some partitioning tool which should allow you to turn them into Ne=
tBSD partitions, delete them, make new partitions and so on. NetBSD can rea=
d ( not sure about writing, but it should... ) e2fs filesystems, you may be=
able to install into one but it won't boot because the loader doesn't know=
e2fs, so you'll want at least one ffs partition.
( e3fs is just e2fs with a journal in a hidden file so NetBSD can handle th=
ese as well. It won't use any journalling though ).
have fun
Michael
