I was installing the newer 1.5.3_ALPHA snapshots with the images
stored on a FreeBSD/old NETBSD partition.  (I wanted to give
openoffice a try.) I ran mbrlabel to add the other partitions
unmodified to the disklabel, yet on mounting them, I could not stat the
mounted fs.  What did I miss.  I recall having done this in the past,
including while bootstrapping from the original proprietaty OS/OE.

i386-unknown-netbsdelf1.5.3, Toshiba Satellite PRO 460CDT, 
1 disk -- wd0, 1 NetBSD partition (~1 Mb) and 2
FreeBSD/old NetBSD partitions.  
Configuration to only newfs the NetBSD 
partitions.  

Granted I wanted to try some cross-compile projects, but I hadn't
expected to set up another BSD and rebuild tools just to get out of
this bind.
