Hello all--

I'm trying to install the ix86 version of  NetBSD 1.4.2 off a dos partition.
Based on previous posts, I noted the sector start and size and created an
MSDOS slice (I've tried wd0h and wd0f; extended and primary FAT-formatted
partitions) using disklabel.

Unfortunately, when I try to mount_msdos /dev/wd0h /msdos (I created the
directory), I get an Invalid argument error.

The only suspicious thing I see in the disklabel output is some asterisks
around the MSDOS slice's cylinder numbers.  I can only presume it doesn't
like the fact that they are outside the numbers for the c slice.

Am I misunderstanding something critical here?

As an aside, I presume cat setname.tgz | pax -r -z -p e will appropriately
extract the sets.

Thanks in advance.
