When in doubt, use the disklabel utility first.  It will show you all of
the partitions on the disk that NetBSD can access:

8 partitions:
#      size   offset    fstype   [fsize bsize   cpg]
  a:   44400  176400    4.2BSD        0     0    0   # (Cyl.  147 - 183)
  b:  175200    1200      swap                       # (Cyl.    1 - 146)
  c: 2400619       0    unused        0     0        # (Cyl.    0 - 2000*)
  d:     192    1008   unknown                       # (Cyl.    0*- 0*)
  e:  300000  308400    4.2BSD        0     0     0   # (Cyl.  257 - 506)
  f:  808800  608400    4.2BSD        0     0     0   # (Cyl.  507 - 1180)
  g:   87600  220800    4.2BSD        0     0     0   # (Cyl.  184 - 256)
  h:  950400 1417200    4.2BSD        0     0     0   # (Cyl. 1181 - 1972)

Then you should be able to match them up with the sizes you specified in
the partitioning utility.
