 This is 10-fingered from the running system instead, hope that works
 too, as I installed the sets and set them up into a running system
 manually and I don't feel like doing that over.
 
 Disk is a 2GB CF Card, the fdisk partitions were set up as they were
 when installing, a section for WinCE (loader and install sets) as well
 as the larger partition for NetBSD, no swap, this partition was blank
 initially, assumed to be all 0x00. Attempted also was just the FAT
 partiton with 1 unused (to be assigned later) which also failed with a
 segfault.

         PBR is not bootable: All bytes are identical (0x00)
 2: <UNUSED>
 3: <UNUSED>
 No active partition.
 
 Initially, the NetBSD partition didn't exist, later it was assigned
 but all blank, though neither of this matters. Anyway....
