I thought the docs made this clear?  NetBSD disklabel does *not* modify
MacOS or pdisk generated partition maps.  It is only capable of modifying
NetBSD disklabel-created partition maps.

Yes, this is normal when you ask disklabel to modify a MacOS or pdisk
generated partition map.  I need to add it to the FAQ.

What is not normal is that your partitions don't show up in NetBSD.
Perhaps you changed some of the flags in pdisk or mac-fdisk that makes them
not be recognized by NetBSD?
