Manual installation from Solaris 10 is not possible because NetBSD
cannot use the resultng UFS filesystem. It is possible to install
Solaris 10 and NetBSD on the same disk. To do so, partition the disk
with the Solaris format command, then boot NetBSD and perform a manual
installation. Be careful not to write a NetBSD disklabel. Use the
disklabel command to read the partition size, as constructed from the
Solaris disklabel. By default the NetBSD newfs command writes a NetBSD
disklabel. Avoid this by using the -F and -s arguments to newfs.
