These aren't partitions I have added - they were there before my bsd install.
I tried editing with 'disklabel -e wd0', but after writing the label every
partition I have added <to the label> reports that "partition extends past
end of unit" and "offset past end of unit". 'disklabel wd0' then asks me if I
wish to reedit my disklabel.
Maybe it doesn't like the way linux fdisk partitioned it?
Nosaj.
