In NetBSD 1.6.x, /usr/sbin/installboot isn't for NetBSD/i386;
use /usr/mdec/installboot as you did in previous releases.

For NetBSD-current, /usr/sbin/installboot has replaced
/usr/mdec/installboot for NetBSD/i386, and the syntax is:
	cp /usr/mdec/boot /altroot/boot
	/usr/sbin/installboot -v /dev/rwdNa /usr/mdec/bootxx_ffsv1

(This is documented in the man page :)

Cheers,
Luke.
