I have a disk that I have moved from a Linux box to a NetBSD box.
It has about 16 partitions on it. There is one, that I wouldn't
mind retrieving data from before I wipe the disk. It is not
among the first partitions, so "disklabel wd1" does not see it.

Fdisk will tell me about it.

Is there a way to edit the in-kernel copy only?
Is there a better way than just plugging numbers from fdisk in?

(Yes, it is ext2, not ext3)
