I now see that my disklabel wd0c doesn't reference the entire partition, 
so I need to do that also.

I am not sure exact numbers. I am just adding up all the disklabel 
partition sizes (except c and d) and using that as the size for the fdisk 
slice.

I now currently have:

Partition table:
0: NetBSD (sysid 169)
     start 63, size 5069728 (2475 MB, Cyls 0-335/72/56), Active

I set that because
2048000+1024000+1024000+51408+922320=5069728


and disklabel:

#        size    offset     fstype [fsize bsize cpg/sgs]
  a:    922320        63     4.2BSD   1024  8192 46120  # (Cyl.      0*- 
915*)
  b:     51408    922383       swap                     # (Cyl.    915*- 
966*)
  c:    979902        63     unused      0     0        # (Cyl.      0*- 
972*)
  d:  80293248         0     unused      0     0        # (Cyl.      0 - 
79655)
  e:   1024000    973791     4.2BSD   1024  8192 46552  # (Cyl.    966*- 
1981*)
  f:   1024000   1997791     4.2BSD   1024  8192 46552  # (Cyl.   1981*- 
2997*)
  g:   2048000   3021791     4.2BSD      0     0     0  # (Cyl.   2997*- 
5029*)

Notice my partition c above is wrong.
