And what would fdisk tell about this disk ?
disklabel shows a partition starting at 0 (which probably means
no disklabel or fdisk-style partition was found), but file 
claims that there is a 0xa9 partition (this is NetBSD id) starting at
sector 63.
On what architecture are you trying to mount the disk ?
