The OS is NetBSD 1.2, and edlabel is the partitioning command available from the miniroot program loaded by the tape boot loader.

According to the NetBSD FAQ, the swap partition is to be 2 to 3 times the size of the RAM, which is 4mb.

My math came out similar to yours, too. However, I keep getting the "ioctrl" error message, which does not show up in the man pages that I have. So...I'm appealing to the great Unix minds congregating in this list to shed some light. edlabel allows me to create the "a" partition, but no others.
