Well, it kind of worked, fdisk -B only saw the partition table on the
first (wd0) disk.
But when asked to select a default device, it gave me options like
'HardDisk 1', 'HardDisk 2' etc..
Select harddisk 1 as the default mean that if I hit no key at the
bootselector, it would fall through to netbsd.
This seems less than optimal and non-intuitive, but it works fine for my
purposes :)
Thanks for the help !
