It only ignores it if it is so misplaced that it can't find it (which
is not the case where since you got warnings) or if there are no valid
partitions in it.

This doesn't follow:
a) the c partition probably isn't for the whole disk in NetBSD.  In
   systems derived from 386BSD, the d partition was for the whole
   disk.
b) interesting slices should be in other, erm, slices.
