port-mac68k: adding a new on an existing NetBSD Drive

I installed NetBSD-1.2.1 on a 1.3 gig drive.  I had to use the 40Meg apple
option on the mkfs program under MacOS.  I have a 50 meg NetBSD root&usr
where NetBSD has been installed.  I tried using mkfs from MacOS to change
the format of my 1200meg partition to NetBSD.  It says bad SuperBlock when
I try to mount it.  Do I need to do a disklabel on this partion and then
newfs? could doing a disklabel destroy my existing NetBSD partion on
/dev/sd1a?

Can the NetBSD drive be made bootable such that NetBSD gets loaded without
going into MacOS?
