 Not necessarily... but we do need more to go on than you've given us
 so far.
 
 You say you can't provide a vnd image with the same partitioning. You
 also haven't told us what that partitioning is in enough detail to
 duplicate it exactly. There are also other circumstances you haven't
 explained, like when or why the NetBSD partition turned into an
 OpenBSD partition.
 
 Without this information it is unlikely that we can figure out what
 happened.
