With "dkctl sd0 addwedge ...." you can use arbitrary "partitions" on disk sd0
without modifying its on-card partition information, so if you have a disk
from a foreign system where NetBSD does not understand the partitioning
scheme but you know the block offset/size of the file system you are interested
in, you can create a "partition" at runtime and mount it (w/o changing the SD).

They show up as /dev/dk* and they are automatically created e.g. for GPT
partitions.
