Your b partition starts at 20001 and goes on for 21000 blocks, (i.e.,
ends at block 41000). 

Your d partition starts at block 22001 and goes on for 26100 blocks
i.e., ends at block 28100).  

(I may be off by one at the end, but I don't think so.)
The b and d partitions clearly do overlap.

Below the prototype for an rz25 from the /etc/disktab that should be
in 1.2.  I'd label the disk with this first. Then use disklabel -e to
edit the partition sizes, change the size *and* offset to suit.

If you're installing this as a real root filesystem, the root
partition will be a tight sqeeze. I'd double it (increasing ob and
decreasin pb accordingly), assuming you have another disk to put some
or all of /usr on.
