This is kind of odd. On Macppc the dos-partition is mapped to sd0a
whereas on i386 the verysame dos-partition is mapped to sd0e.
Moreover both machines run NetBSD 3.0.
So it is rather some inconsistancy, than a real bug. But it managed to
iritate me quite a lot, I was used to the Macppc and trying disklabel
didn't come to my mind.
Sorry for the noise.
