Any hints or comments about fixing fdisk partitions where the disklabel 
partitions are outside?

For example, the fdisk looks like:

Disk: /dev/rwd0d
NetBSD disklabel disk geometry:
cylinders: 79656, heads: 16, sectors/track: 63 (1008 sectors/cylinder)
total sectors: 80293248

BIOS disk geometry:
cylinders: 1023, heads: 240, sectors/track: 63 (15120 sectors/cylinder)
total sectors: 80293248

Partition table:
0: NetBSD (sysid 169)
     start 63, size 979902 (478 MB, Cyls 0-64/195/1), Active
1: <UNUSED>
2: <UNUSED>
3: <UNUSED>
Bootselector disabled.

And the disklabel is:

# /dev/rwd0d:
type: unknown
disk: amnesiac
label:
flags:
bytes/sector: 512
sectors/track: 63
tracks/cylinder: 16
sectors/cylinder: 1008
cylinders: 79656
total sectors: 80293248
rpm: 3600
interleave: 1
trackskew: 0
cylinderskew: 0
headswitch: 0           # microseconds
track-to-track seek: 0  # microseconds
drivedata: 0

16 partitions:
#        size    offset     fstype [fsize bsize cpg/sgs]
  a:    922320        63     4.2BSD   1024  8192 46120  # (Cyl.      0*-    915*)
  b:     51408    922383       swap                     # (Cyl.    915*-    966*)
  c:    979902        63     unused      0     0        # (Cyl.      0*-    972*)
  d:  80293248         0     unused      0     0        # (Cyl.      0 -  79655)
  e:   1024000    973791     4.2BSD   1024  8192 46552  # (Cyl.    966*-  1981*)

-=-=-=-=-

Notice that wd0e is outside of the fdisk partition 0.

I hope to grow the fdisk partition 0 or create a new fdisk partition 1 to 
include this space. But I don't want to accidently make wd0a unusable. (It 
is a production box.)

Any thoughts before I do this?
