No, partition 'c' is the whole disk (partition 'd' is the whole 'NetBSD' 
part of the disk -- ie all the NetBSD partitions).  You mount ADFS 
partitions by giving NetBSD the 'whole disk' partition.  (This does bring 
up an interesting question: what if a disk has more than one ADFS 
partition?)

I seem to remember that when the ADFS code was added, that it didn't 
support the ADFS 'Floppy' formats (only the Hard Disk formats).  If this 
has changed (or if I'm wrong) then someone please correct me.
