"c" and "d" are supposed to be reserved for the NetBSD part, and the
whole disk, respectively. "d", especially, is usually taken to be the
whole disk, regardless of what it says in the disklabel. If you saved
the old disklabel you should restore it to what it was before going
any further; you may also have a backup in
/var/backups/disklabel.wd0.backup.

The DOS file system actually starts one track in on the extended
partitions, so make a partiton "f" with start 11341953=11341890+63 and
size 17992737=17992800-63. The start and size were right the first
time, it's just that you can't use "d".
