I believe e is just an assumed partition by NetBSD. It doesn't
actually exist until you use disklabel and write it, unless the disk
was formatted before or something.

c is the NetBSD partition, d is the whole disk on i386.

I always create a so there is no confusion. When I see e, I hesitate
and try to be sure that there's no data on the disk that I forgot was
there or something. When there is an a, I know I did that. With e I'm
not so sure.
