During my last double-check of my original disklabel table and all my fdisk outputs, I've discovered that all my logical partitions were distanced by 63 sectors from one another. The NetBSD slice too, it was starting 63 sectors after the end of its preceding (NTFS) partition. I can only vaguely suspect why it's so, but, it does make some sense about those 189 sectors "missing" from c: 63 x 3 (for its 3 subpartitions that are not distanced themselves) = 189! There used to be a free space after that partition, so it didn't cause any troubles. But now, I should make sure to have the slice starting at the same point as before, but, ending 63 sectors before the start of the next (ext2) partition. Or, maybe it should be 63 x number of intended sub-partitions?
