I first tried "disklabel -E sd1" (before my first post) without success. I saw that the space for partition "c" minus partition "a" was equal the size of my existing FAT partition that I could not see or use. And I could not add it so it would be visible either. After your last reply I saw the "D" flag (set disklabel to default). Then the FAT partitions showed up directly. However, the sd1a 4.2BSD partition seemed to have been destroyed and set to "unused" in the fstype field when i used the flag "D". But the FAT partition was not destroyed by using "D". I could directly mount it... As it was not important I recreated and reformatted the sd1a 4.2BSD partition. Now I can see and use both the BSD and the FAT partion. The secret for me was the "D" flag in disklabel. But of course it all depended on me not understanding everyhing regarding disklabel. Tnx Nick for your hints.
