Guys, I am trying to mirror a NetBSD 1.6_RC4 root partition on a multiboot 
box, and have been following a set of instructions which appeared  in an 
email from David Browlee dated July 17, 2002 [is there anything else 
available?].

They say:

" disklabel wd1, and ensure that wd1a starts at least 100 blocks from the 
start of the disk .. wd1c should be identical to wd1d .."  and I can't quite 
figue what this really means.  Here's my attempt - and it's result!   
Anybody able to suggest what I'm doing wrong here?

G.
