Partion c should reflect the whole disk and be type 'unknown'.

So it should look something like this..

 8 partitions:
 #       size    offset  fstype  {fsize  bsize   cpg}

 a       71712        0  4.2BSD  1024    8192    16     {Cyl.    0 - 107}
 b      258296    71712  swap                           {Cyl.  108 - 496}
 c     2068360        0  unknown			{Cyl.    0 - 3114} 
 d     1024552   330008  4.2BSD  1024    8192    16     {Cyl.  497 - 2039}
 e      610880  1354560  4.2BSD  1024    8192    16     {Cyl. 2040 - 2959}
 f      102920  1965440  4.2BSD  1024    8192    16     {Cyl. 2960 - 3114}
