I made partitions like this (typed from screen):

Disk: /dev/rwd0c
NetBSD disklabel disk geometry:
cylinders: 980 heads: 8 sectors/track: 32 (256 sectors/cylinder)

BIOS disk geometry:
cylinders: 980 heads: 8 sectors/track: 32 (256 sectors/cylinder)

Partition table:
0: sysid 4 (Primary DOS with 16 bit FAT <32MB)
    start 32, size 44000 (21 MB), flag 0x0
        beg: cylinder    0, head   1, sector  1
        end: cylinder  171, head   7, sector 32
1: sysid 169 (NetBSD)
    start 44032, size 206848 (101 MB), flag 0x0
        beg: cylinder  172, head   0, sector  1
        end: cylinder  979, head   7, sector 32
2: <UNUSED>
3: <UNUSED>

After fdisk wince was going with a 21MB partition ok, but after disklabel
wince formats everything. Also, when I made the partitions
wince didn't understand unless I used the command
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rwd0c count=100
before fdisk. How strange... Vesa
