I have a disklabel on a slave drive that looks similar to this:

disklabel for /dev/wd1
8 partitions:
#        size    offset     fstype  [fsize bsize cpg/sgs]
  d:  19931184         0     unused      0     0         # (Cyl.    0 - 
19772)
  e:  19920537        63      MSDOS                      # (Cyl.    0*- 
19762*)
disklabel: boot block size 0
disklabel: super block size 0

Noting that there is no NetBSD part whatsoever, now I've set this label 
up as above so that I may mount the msdos partition in order to obtain 
access to files on the msdos only disk.

Now was it an error on my part to have written such a label to the disk 
with disklabel -r?

If I understand correctly the disklabel is normally stored inside 
partition c on i386 computers (the netbsd part of the disk) but in this 
case that part does not exist since the entire drive is devoted to 
msdos.  So my question is where has this label been written to?

Pending the above can a disk that is entirely devoted to msdos be 
mounted under netbsd.  (This has worked but will it cause data loss on 
the msdos partition?)

I should mention that on boot I get complaints that say "wd1: has no 
disklabel" even though it does have an kernel disklabel.  Is there any 
way to get rid of this error if what I'm trying to do isn't incorrect?
