No, it was made with Mkfs.

It may indeed be benign; I asked about it because I have not been able to
boot, & thought it might be a clue.

I should perhaps have explained that this is a newly created system, from
the bare hard drive, and I have not yet been able to get it to boot. I get
the message:

Could not open kernel "(6, ?) netbsd"

If the "6" means the SCSI number, that is correct. I don't know how to fill
in where it has the "?", so I have been looking around for anything that
might be suspicious.

Since I had trouble with too many partitions last time I created a system,
this time I went to a lot of trouble to eliminate unneeded ones. The
partitions are:

0	Partition map
1	Driver	(APS 4.1)
2	driver
3	Apple Patches	(sd1d)  (I was not able to get rid of this one)
4	root	(sd1a)
5	swap	(sd1b)
6	usr	(sd1g)
