When you set NetBSD partitions during system istallation there are displayed arrangements of MBR NetBSD partition and whole disk too.
The MBR NetBSD partition has annotation "NetBSD partition".

Can you change annotation to "MBR NetBSD partition" ?

 This is about the 'c' partition on e.g. amd64 where we display disklabel
 partition 'd' as "Whole disk" and 'c' as "NetBSD partition" in sysinst.

 Technically it is not really bound to the MBR partition - but then we
 only use it for that in typical setups.

 It is easy to rename, but I am not sure it makes things clearer. What do
 others think?
