Hi all!

In one of the answers to my previous article about installing NetBSD
along with msdos to one hard disk, there is a suggestion to use pfdisk.exe
disk partitioner. I download it from tsx11.mit.edu and use it to make
my partition table :

Part    Id    First(cyl)    Last(cyl)    name    #    start    len
1          1                  0               150     msdos         17      20519
2       165              151              641     unkno        20536  66776

I used the values 66776 and 20536 as length and offset of the NetBSD
partition (respectively) in the install process.
But when I want to copy the kernel from kernelcopy floppy to wd0a
when install program does the fsck of wd0a I obtained the error message

wd0: cannot find label (no disk label).

Could you please tell me what's wrong ?

Thanks'a'lot.
