In Step 2, while editing the disklabel to add a new BSD partition, you must also edit the slice definition c: so that it matches the fdisk logical partition expansion done in Step 1.
That has always been the thing I was mostly concerned about. Especially since I discovered that wd0a+wd0h+wd0b(swap) sizes do not exactly match the wd0c size! The difference (overlapping) is very small (189 sectors), but, here it is. And that has been done by NetBSD itself, during the installation!
Now, I'm preparing to do some tests (to put in and out some existing partitions), I've prepared the protofiles and I'm just going to boot into NetBSD. I'll do it first with another disk, without any slices.
