Those are definitely not going to work.  Looks like fdisk has defaulted
to the real geometry - not actually useful :-)

Does your BIOS give the disk geometry on its setup screens?

Alternatively try 'sysctl machdep.diskinfo', if it displays nothing
then pull the one from www.l8s.co.uk then netbsd/sysctl
That one will need libc.so, so you might have to type
	LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/mnt/lib sysctl machdep.diskinfo
