Same friend (who trashed his disk with NFS) is now trying to install
on a disk with ZBR (Zone Bit Recording?) that has several numbers of
disk sectors per cylinder, or some such, so as to have more data on
the outside tracks where there is more room.

Can NetBSD be installed on such a disk?

Thanks in advance.
