I have communication indicating that there is a possibility that under
the conditions I described sysinst might pick up previous NetBSD
installs even after a MacOS formatting, due to locations of each within
the Master Block 0. Without doing a low-level reformatting, it is
possible that Apple's Disk Tools won't affect the NetBSD info while
leaving the entire disk MacOS HFS. Sysinst then picks this up and
presents it as the default for a new installation. This probably does
not affect other architectures.
