NetBSD partitions must be "Root&Usr" type to be found and used. Either 
use your original formatter to change the name on your "Slice 3" 
partition, or use the newer mkfs to do it for you. It will do this 
without re-initing the partition if you don't confirm the last step. 
Also, NetBSD doesn't need the "Eschology" partition, so it's wasted space.
