Finding
"optimum" partition sizes all comes down to understanding the use case of the system. No two systems are the same, & don't expect to get it right the first time. So adopt a means to backup important data, & don't be afraid of installing many,
many times. This is the way to learn.

Now I have to figure out which repository to use for adding packages.

NetBSD's package system has its documentation too:
http://netbsd.org/docs/pkgsrc/
Studying this document upfront will save you lots of time & frustration. Spending time developing familiarity with the contents of NetBSD's Website will help you as well.
