I'm in NetBSD-current, updated today from cvs. If I run:
# disklabel -r wd0
I see FreeBSD's disklabel and all the partitions it contains. But I can't
see any other partition that is outside of it. Though fdisk sees them.
Here is my layout of the first ide disk:
1 - Win98
2 - FreeBSD disklabel
3 - Linux root
4 - Extended (linux swap, linux tmp, linux var, linux usr and /home)
Second ide disk:
1 - NetBSD disklabel

The partition I want to mount is the /home. It is ad0s9 or hda9...
but I can't find a way to use it from NetBSD :(

Any idea? Thanks!

PD: I still think that NetBSD naming scheme is not as powerful as the
FreeBSD one...
