For reasons that I didn't bother to investigate, I can remember having a
problem when first installing and giving any name other than the default
("mydisk" was it?).  Try that, because the name is not really of
much consequence later - or at least, I've been using NetBSD for nearly
two years and never had cause to refer to it.

If that's not the cause, then maybe someone else will be able to help...
