Or you can run mbrlabel (without -w) and replace the previous entries
accordingly.
No, without -w, mbrlabel will just print out the modified disklabel,
but will neither change the in-core label nor the one on disk.
Indeed. you print the modified label and you then modify the entries

Yes.
No, this is not fully correct. See below.

If you're referring to old OS installations, you might be

Is it safe and sufficient to run 'mbrlabel -fw ' on NetBSD
whenever there has been partition resizing (usually via Gpartd) such
that the disklabel no loner relects the current partitioning state?

mbrlabel creates disklabel entries for MBR partition entries,
Is it safe and sufficient to run 'mbrlabel -fw ' on NetBSD
whenever there has been partition resizing (usually via Gpartd)
such that the disklabel no longer reflects the current partitioning
state?
