Of course not.

Boot the stick single user, use fdisk to adjust the first partition to the
end, use disklabel to extend the label to the en of the disk (A), then
readjust the existing partitions (I move the b-partition to the end,
adjusting a from the almost start to some space before the end for swap,
then after writing the label use 'fsck -fy /dev/rsd0a' or wherever it is,
then 'resize_ffs -y /dev/rsd0a', then again ; fsck -fy /dev/rsd0a'.

This is my usual installation method on USB stick - I always build live
images, dump them onto a USB stick, SD card or even SATA disk, then whilst
on the NetBSD host I perform manually the above procedure, even configure
the networking etc.
