I was able to install NetBSD as I described in my original post.

The hardest issue was deciding on partition sizes. I wanted at least a separate /home partition, and ended up with separate root (/), swap, /usr, /tmp, and /home partitions, but am still unsure as to whether my chosen sizes were optimum.

It took me a while to get network settings right in /etc/rc.conf, but I was able to do that after a few tries.

Now I have to figure out which repository to use for adding packages. A recent post in another section of this forum will probably help.

Thanks to those who made suggestions!
