That may be because you forgot to supply the -r or -B args to disklabel,
or forgot to edit the label using disklabel -e. I think no editing is
required to boot from the 'c' partition (the missing d_type initialisation
doesn't matter because the `d_type != DTYPE_SCSI' case defaults to
DTYPE_ESDI (aka IDE)). The 'a' partition produced by
`disklabel -Brw wd0 auto ' is obviosuly unbootable and unnewfsable,
etc., since it is empty.
