Last night I was bored and I finally did fiddle with fdisk. I
enlarged the NetBSD partition and things were ok. Then I simply
added wd0f and wd0g using disklabel, and used newfs to format
them. Funny how easy it was.

I am now computing the differences. It seems that one could use
wsconscfg or wsconsctl to remap the keyboard, but the man pages
are not very explicit about how it should be done.
