OK so I'm trying to install NetBSD 1.6.2. As I reach the disklabel part,
  when I choose "Custom" (from the list of options: Standard, Standard
with X, Custom, and something else), the installer segfaults (right
after I choose Custom, I haven't tried the others) and it complains
about / being full. The only thing I can do is a hard reboot.

I have no idea what it might be... I doubt it's the HDD, since FreeBSD
installs just fine (on the same place). As for the HDD, one thing I've
noticed is that the geometry BIOS shows me is different (and obviously
wrong) from the one NetBSD (and FreeBSD) show me. What could cause this?

Thanks in advance,
cmad
