incorrect partition information

Hi:

The DragonFlyBSD installer 'select partition' screen presents 
confusing information.

Please see the screenshot

Keeping in mind that the *BSD have the partition ID as shown 
below,
    * FreeBSD : a5 (165)
    * DragonFlyBSD : a5 (165)
    * OpenBSD : a6 (166)
    * NetBSD : a9 (169)
a partition with partition ID 'a5' is shown as 
 DragonFly/FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD.

'NetBSD' has a distinct partition ID 'a9' and shouldn't be shown 
here.

What is the opinion of the dev folks ?

Saifi.
