Hi,
	My IP address changed due to a dorm move, so I decided to
reinstall NetBSD rather than figuring out how to change my IP
address and hostname etc. through NetBSD (don't ask me why).

	I used pfdisk and fdisk to try to remove the partition,
but when I reassign the partition using pfdisk and boot the install
disk, the program says that I don't have any free partitions.

	Then, when I try to boot up NetBSD from my hard disk, it crashes
(I guess that's to be expected now).  How can I reinstall NetBSD?
