I run fdisk -u wd0 and changed partition to extend to end of disk. Now I 
am wondering what is "same amount" that I should write to disklabel :)

I'm really confused about disklabel, I haven't played with netbsd / 
unixes that much, only Linuxes. So how can I calculate the correct amount?

tried something and got:

"disklabel: partition c: partition extends past end of unit"
