With things as they stand at the moment, you have to find the start and
end sector numbers for the partitions and edit them into the netbsd disk
label.

IMHO this isn't user friendly!

If I knew the changes would be used, I'd write the code to pick up the
native partitions - it isn't that hard.

What does the netbsd fdisk (from current) say about your disk?
It would be useful to know the output for your disk.
