I've got some IDE hard drives from an old Linux system of mine.  I'd
like to try mount them under NetBSD, but the disks show up as being
unlabelled by NetBSD.  Each of the disks has several filesystems, some
of them are on primary partitions, others live in extended partitions.

What's the method for mounting these under NetBSD?  Since NetBSD doesn't
recognise the partition table on the disk, it's not clear to me how say,
the Linux /dev/hda5 device in an extended partition maps to the
/dev/wd0* device names.

Thanks for any pointers.
