I think i've found the curlpit: in `kern/subr_disc_mbr.c' that NetBSD/i386
uses a `dummy' disclabel is created just with the parameters i've seen
showing up again and again. What is happening i think is that in
scsipi/cd.c the returned error is not processed OK when no disclabel is
found on the disc and thus sets this dummy to be the correct one.
I'll have a look into that.
