After creating several domainU's on sd0, I'm trying to create domains on 
sd1 and encountering surprises.

sd1 is partitioned:

domain0# disklabel sd1
# /dev/rsd1d:
type: SCSI
disk: mydisk
label: fictitious
flags:
bytes/sector: 512
sectors/track: 705
tracks/cylinder: 4
sectors/cylinder: 2820
cylinders: 50824
total sectors: 143374744
rpm: 15015
interleave: 1
trackskew: 0
cylinderskew: 0
headswitch: 0           # microseconds
track-to-track seek: 0  # microseconds
drivedata: 0

8 partitions:
#        size    offset     fstype [fsize bsize cpg/sgs]
  c: 143374681        63     unused      0     0        # (Cyl.      0*- 
  50842*)
  d: 143374744         0     unused      0     0        # (Cyl.      0 - 
  50842*)
  e:  35830920        63     4.2BSD   2048 16384 28760  # (Cyl.      0*- 
  12706*)
  f:  35830920  35830983     4.2BSD   2048 16384 28760  # (Cyl.  12706*- 
  25412*)
  g:  35830920  71661903     4.2BSD   2048 16384 28760  # (Cyl.  25412*- 
  38118*)
  h:  35830920 107492823     4.2BSD   2048 16384 28760  # (Cyl.  38118*- 
  50824*)

I'm trying to install domain "proxy". In it's config file I have:

disk = [ 'phy:/dev/sd1e,sd0d,w' ]
root = "/dev/sd0d"

During the installation I define:

         MB         Cylinders   Sectors   Filesystem
        256               256    524288   /
       1024              1024   2097152   swap
        128               128    262144   tmp (mfs)
       8192              8192  16777216   /usr
       5120  (7511)      5120  10485760 + /var
        512               512   1049736   /home

and see on the next screen:

We now have your BSD-disklabel partitions as:
  This is your last chance to change them.

     Start  MB   End  MB  Size  MB FS type    Newfs Mount Mount point
     --------- --------- --------- ---------- ----- ----- -----------
  a:         0       255       256 FFSv1      Yes   Yes   /
  b:       256      1279      1024 swap
  c:         0     17494     17495 NetBSD partition
  d:         0     17494     17495 Whole disk
  e:      1280      9471      8192 FFSv1      Yes   Yes   /usr
  f:     17495     34990     17495 FFSv1
  g:     34991     52485     17495 FFSv1
  h:     52486     69981     17495 FFSv1
  i:      9472     16982      7511 FFSv1      Yes   Yes   /var
  j:     16983     17495       513 FFSv1      Yes   Yes   /home
  k:         0         0         0 unused

Going to the utility menu, I see the partitions for the physical sd1 
disk when I type:

# disklabel xbd0
# /dev/rxbd0d:
type: SCSI
disk: mydisk
label: fictitious
flags:
bytes/sector: 512
sectors/track: 705
tracks/cylinder: 4
sectors/cylinder: 2820
cylinders: 50824
total sectors: 143374744
rpm: 15015
interleave: 1
trackskew: 0
cylinderskew: 0
headswitch: 0           # microseconds
track-to-track seek: 0  # microseconds
drivedata: 0

8 partitions:
#        size    offset     fstype [fsize bsize cpg/sgs]
  c: 143374681        63     unused      0     0        # (Cyl.      0*- 
  50842*)
  d: 143374744         0     unused      0     0        # (Cyl.      0 - 
  50842*)

  f:  35830920  35830983     4.2BSD   2048 16384 28760  # (Cyl.  12706*-

What am I missing?
