Is there a convention for which NetBSD device should be used for on
mountable volumes that have only MSDOS file systems?  Currently, I have 
some that use 'e' but one that uses 'd'.  Should I just use disklabel 
to fix it?  More precisely, at least one of the devices (a USB widget) 
has no label, so the kernel is using 'e' -- should I just wipe the 
other "disk"?  dd if=/dev/zero?
