Yes, I can mount /dev/wd0a on /mnt
Yes, /mnt/ofwboot and /mnt/netbsd do exist
I've reinstalled NetBSD several times, just to make sure it wasn't some
random error, but still it doesn't boot. I just don't understand what
could be wrong. Is it possible that the boot loader code has been
modified in the recent sources and not tested fully? I mean it boots
fine from the CD-ROM, I used sunbootcd.sh to make it bootable, but
refuses to boot from the IDE hard disk.
