What kind of disks are they in the HSD? There are disklabels around for a
variety of older DEC drives which can be applied to netbsd or you can
manufacture one yourself with the total block size and a couple of other
factors.
You can often disklabel a smaller label onto a larger disk. You will have
some unusable space but it will get the disk labelled.
What OS do you have doing the disklabel?
