Hello,

I'm on alpha and want to get data from BSD partition on a disk from a
NetBSD/i386 machine. So I did:
mbrlabel sd2

the result was surprising:

----
Found 4.2BSD partition; size 12287983 (5999 MB), offset 63
  adding 4.2BSD partition to slot a.

3 partitions:
#        size    offset     fstype [fsize bsize cpg/sgs]
 a:     16384        63     4.2BSD   1024  8192    16  # (Cyl.      0*-     13*)
 c:  35937500         0     unused      0     0        # (Cyl.      0 -  29898*)

Not updating disk label.
----

Size 6GB for a BSD partition looks reasonable, but why is later the size
displayed as 16386 sectors, insead of 12287983 as in the first message? 
This is on 3.0_BETA.

Please, isn't this a bug? Or is just my expectation wrong?

Bye	Pavel
