>Description:
	NetBSD doesn't grok BSDI 2.0.1 fdisk-style partitions. This seems silly,
	since the BSDI format appears to be identical to NetBSD's. I just 
	added partition type 0x9f as an equivalent for 0xa5, and was happy 
	ever after.

	Note that BSDI got rid of the d-partition, and may or may not have
	done other things differently in cases that I didn't test. Caveat
	emptor! Note also that you don't need this if you do not install
	DOS coresidency (i.e., if you use native BSD disklabels).
>How-To-Repeat:
	Install NetBSD and BSDI on different disks in one machine. Get very
	frustrated about not being able to reach your home directory, since
	it resides on a BSDI file system inside an fdisk-style partition.
>Fix:
	Apply this patch:
