However, I don't know how to partition these

had a bit of a fiddle with disklabel but quite frankly I get a bit
lost, and most of the time disklabel locks up on me anyway - I suspect
this is because it cannot know the true geometry of the disk it is
talking to, but that's just a supposition...
What kind of disks are they in the HSD? There are disklabels around for
a variety of older DEC drives which can be applied to netbsd or you can
manufacture one yourself with the total block size and a couple of other
factors. You can often disklabel a smaller label onto a larger
disk. You will
have some unusable space but it will get the disk labelled.
What OS do you have doing the disklabel?
NetBSD 1.5.2 :)
