Hmm, but NetBSD/i386 expects 'c' to be 'NetBSD part of the disk' and
'd' to be 'the whole disk from beginning to ending'. Don't do that.
Try with 'e' and 'f', restoring 'c' and 'd', then writing on ld1e
shouldn't effect ld1a, and ld1d should effect ld1a as it's supposed
to do.

Don't ask me how to get back your previous values for the 'c' and
'd' partitions though.
