Your /etc/disktab must reflect the actual layout of your disk. I had to edit /etc/disktab accordingly, since the original /etc/disktab knew only 386bsd-partitions for the whole drive. Using fdisk (it's in pk0.2.4) to learn about the partitioning scheme of your disk will simplify the count of the sectors where a partition begins and ends; when calculating them by hand, be *very careful* to not access the first track of each DOS-partition.
