I wasn't sure; I went by the listing of /dev/rwd0d at the top of the
disklabel output.  In any case, when I mount -t /dev/wd0e /mnt/point I get
the following:

in syslog:
Dec 11 09:16:58  /netbsd: wd0: no disk label
Dec 11 09:16:58  /netbsd: ntfs_readntvattr_plain: POSSIBLE RUN ERROR
Dec 11 09:16:58  /netbsd: ntfs_readattr_plain: ntfs_readntvattr_plain failed: o: 0, s: 1177000
Dec 11 09:16:58  /netbsd: ntfs_readattr_plain: attrib: 0 - 287

... and on the console:
mount_ntfs: /dev/wd0e on /tmp/home: Argument list too long

..which looks inauspicious.

Thrashbarg: I'm using 1.5.3 because it's the only live-filesystem CD I
have around.  It was given out as a demo at a LUG meeting.  It's quite
nice; it looks like it was produced by http://www.cylogistics.com.

Perhaps the computer failure is part of the ineffable will of Bob.
