I suspect that the OpenBSD disklabel contains sector numbers that are
relative to the enclosing MBR partition,  whereas netBSD disklabels
contain absolute sector numbers - so describe the whole disk.

I'm not sure where NetBSD found the disklabel - nor why no one changed
the 'magic numbers' when they changed the format...
