This is not correct. You cannot mount 2 partitions on the same
mount point. This setup only worked because you don't have anything
labelled NetBSD_9.2.

Since the partition starts at sect. 2048 (enough room for a GPT),
and we can get the start and sizes of the disklabel partitions, I
think we can get away with just making the GPT--and just leave the
existing data in place.

But, what should be done with the redundant disklabel? Can we leave
it alone, or will we have to zero it out? Martin?
