i'd say quite possible.  well, at least something seems to be screwy, b/c
i've noticed that the more you mess with the partition map, the less
likely netbsd is going to be able to read the disk.  i resized and deleted
a couple of partitions on one of my disks, and i'm pretty sure i cannot
access the original netbsd partition on the disk now; it panics the
machine to do a disklabel on that drive :-(  i haven't looked at it in a
while now, tho.

later.
