sysid 4 is better. (not important)

you can use 'start 12032'.

size 250000 is wrong.

  978 * 8 * 32 (chs) = total sector is 250368
  start 12033 + size 250000 = last sector is 262032 (wrong)

if you set start 12032, right size is 238336.

partition a and e are overwrapped. a: offset 47 is wrong.
(size and offset (start) is sector #, not cylinder #)
partition c size is strange.

if you can erase all data, try to clear current fdisk/disklabel completely
  $ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rwd1d count=100
                            ^^^^^ <- CF device name
then create new disklabel.

FYI

If you want to add MSDOS partition infomation to NetBSD disklabel,
mbrlabel command is very useful. start and size # will be auto-generated
from fdisk infomation.

MSDOS partition can be formated on NetBSD with newfs_msdos command.
