This is about the MBR partition table, not the NetBSD disklabel.
The partition ID for NetBSD was changed from 165 to 169 (to avoid conflics
with FreeBSD). For now boot blocks and kernel can grock both, but you'd
better change it:
- install new boot blocks:
  cd /usr/mdec
  ./installboot biosboot.sym /dev/rwd0a
- change your BSD partition ID from 165 to 169: you'll need fdisk for this:
  fdisk -u wd0
