As someone pointed out to me in the other thread, you no longer need to
write the disklabel on a -current system.  This is definitely the way to
go.  I tried it today, and it works like a charm.  If you want, I can build
a kernel for you based on the -currrent sources that you can use to mount
the disk.  Just tell me which standard config file you are using, or mail
me a special one.  The name can be found when you bootup, in this string:

NetBSD 1.2_BETA (GATEKEEPER) #0: Mon Jul  1 20:00:46 MST 1996
                 ^^^^^^^^^^

This is it.  You can get this info by typing "dmesg".
