As someone else pointed out, the in-core disk label is 'thrown away'
when the deveice is no longer in use - in this case as soom as mbrlabel
exits!

Various tricks can be used to keep the device active.

$ exec 3 </dev/rwd1a

might work...

Can you send me (privately is fine) what netbsd's fdisk reports for that
disk?  I want to know precisely how linux is setting up the extended
partition list in order to make netbsd's fdisk process it properly.
