Really?  Yesterday I fixed a NetBSD1.2 where the MBR had been clobbered
by installing DOS on the SCSI disk where the first 32 MB had been reserved
for that purpose when installing NetBSD on the blank disk.  I found
the disklabel on the second sector of the disk.  Most definitely not
at the beginning of the first bsd partition.
