I can be more specific.
My only software requirement is a simple Web server,  
which I understand exists in NetBSD 5.  So I have the 
impression that a base system with the Web server and 
no extreme measures to conserve storage, will run in 
the 1 GiB part of the drive.  Then the 5, 6 and 6 GiB 
parts can hold the documents being served.  Any further 
advice before I partition the drive will certainly help.

Thanks,            ... Peter E.
