I have an IDE disk that has Solaris/x86 and Win2k, and I want to read a
single partition from it, for backup. Running "mbrlabel -w wd0" and
"disklabel wd0" gives me:

	a:	12289662	16386363	NTFS
	b:	11293632	28676088	MSDOS
	d:	40000464	       0	unused
	e:	 4192902	      63	NTFS
	f:	23583420	16386300	unused
	g:	12193335	 4192965	unused

Now when I try to read the "g" partition, I get an error:

	# cd /dev
	# cat wd0g
	cat: wd0g: Device not configured
	# cat rwd0g
	cat: rwd0g: Device not configured

The device nodes for wd0g and rwd0g are there, that's not the problem. I
can cat wd0a, wd0b, wd0d and wed0e just fine, but the partitions that were
added by mbrlabel don't work.

Anyone got a clue?
