I'm not sure if you need a space after the -t or not. You might.

No, in NetBSD d represents the entire disk. That won't work. The in
core disklabel should have an e partition representing your msdos
partition. I think?

The other side of this is, I have never been able to mount the msdos
part of my CF card under NetBSD. It always causes a panic. I have been
told that I need to re-partition it but I'm not sure about that.
