Mention the fact that you can delay partitioning disks until you are

actually in the installer. Even when you want to use an AHDI compatible
disk layout.

If NetBSD has a disk of it's own, you can delay the partitioning until
the installer requests you to do it. This means that you can safely skip

If NetBSD has to share the disk with another operating system, you can
either take care of partitioning your harddisk before installing NetBSD or
delay this until the installer requests you to do it. If you decide to do
it now, please create space for at least root, swap and /usr partitions and
possibly at least one more for /local if you have the space. Whatever you
decide, take note of the paragraphs below! You need this info to create
bootable disks.
