Thanks! That did it. I was able to build a filesystem. I can't mount
anything yet, as I think Solaris has a screwed-up NFS implementation that is
confusing NetBSD. (What a surprise.) But I can access the disk just fine
now.

I hadn't noticed that. Oddly enough, the "c" partition seemed to have been
created automatically: it existed when I installed the disk, and the disk
was an Apple factory-installed drive which I just removed from the original
machine, so it shouldn't have been pre-labelled. I'll just fix it by hand.
Thanks for your help!
