Using "disklabel -e -r wd0," I add my dos partion, disklabel gives me a warning about an unused partion, and mount says: "msdos: device not configured." So, I go back into disklabel and adjust partion c to include the msdos partion. When I exit, it asks if I want to overwrite the dos partion information, and I say no. This happens with netbsd 0.9 and current circa May 2. thanks, Jason
