#pdisk -c /dev/wd0c

both give the following error:

segmentation fault

0 > boot cd:,ofwboot hd:0,/netbsd  ( I have only 2 partions, large / and
swap)

output:

OFWBOOT output here

NETBSD kernel from hard drive output here
cd0 at atapibus0 ....
cd0 : drive support ....
cd0(wdc0:0:0): using PIO mode 4, ...
boot device : <unknown>

Thanks for all the suggestions.
