Your webpage says "Note that for now, it looks like you can't have two
NetBSD partitions on the same drive on i386."
This is unclear.
I use NetBSD i386 with multiple fdisk partitions on same disk (although I
only boot from one).
$ fdisk wd0
Disk: /dev/rwd0d
NetBSD disklabel disk geometry:
cylinders: 12592 heads: 16 sectors/track: 63 (1008 sectors/cylinder)
BIOS disk geometry:
cylinders: 790 heads: 255 sectors/track: 63 (16065 sectors/cylinder)
Partition table:
0: sysid 169 (NetBSD)
start 63, size 3164049 (1544 MB), flag 0x0
beg: cylinder 0, head 1, sector 1
end: cylinder 196, head 243, sector 63
1: sysid 169 (NetBSD)
start 3164805, size 3164805 (1545 MB), flag 0x0
beg: cylinder 197, head 0, sector 1
end: cylinder 393, head 254, sector 63
2: sysid 169 (NetBSD)
start 6331248, size 3167136 (1546 MB), flag 0x80
beg: cylinder 394, head 26, sector 1
end: cylinder 591, head 63, sector 1
3: sysid 169 (NetBSD)
start 9501408, size 3173877 (1549 MB), flag 0x0
beg: cylinder 591, head 111, sector 1
end: cylinder 788, head 254, sector 63
(This particular system had different partitions for different operating
systems, but all got changed to NetBSD.)
