Is that with NetBSD 2.0 beta?



This is what pdisk gives for output:

/dev/disk0  map block size=512
   #:                 type name                 length   base     ( size )

The problem I have is when I go into the installer disklabel shows NetBSD
at wd0a and Swap at b but it doesn't recognize the partition as 4.4BSD it
shows unsure, it's also the same problem when I try  newfs
 here's the output for disklabel
 4 partitions
       size       offset       fstype
a: 1595424       76968272      unknown
b: 836324        92922796      unknown
c: 93759120      0             unused
d: 76966448      1824          HFS
