The type must be "Linux Ext2". (The type strings are in
/usr/include/sys/disklabel.h.)

By the way, "mount_ext2fs" has gone away in NetBSD-current, "mount -t
ext2fs /dev/wd0f /mnt" should work with all systems.

If you must put numbers in with "Linux Ext2" to satisfy disklabel, the
defaults would probably be OK (1024 8192 16). I believe these fields
are only referred to when creating file systems with "newfs", and
"cpg" is not referred to even then.
