OK, now I'm confused. I thought that using partition d was a bad idea
but using partition c was OK, at least if c is offset 63 sectors from
the beginning of the disk.

Please tell me it's so, most of the disks on our FTP server are set up
like this... :-| (they are working fine so far (NetBSD 1.3), but you've
got me worried that something might break in the future if I upgrade...)
