The problem seems to be in the partitioning & newfs part of the installation
procedure. Did you see the filesystems being made and mounted?
Can you post:
  - the output of ahdilabel (Only if there is AHDI partitioning on the disk,
      it is also possible to use 100% NetBSD as Dave pointed out).
  - the output of edlabel

The easiest way to get these is:
  - type ^Z (control-Z) after you did finish edlabel.
  - type 'mount -t msdos -o -G /dev/wd0d /mnt'
          This mounts the first GEM partition on wd0 - probably c: ,
          to mount a hd floppy would probably be:
            'mount -t msdos /dev/rfd0c /mnt'
  - type 'ahdilabel /dev/rwd1c > /mnt/ahdilabel.out', type 'q<return>'
  - type 'edlabel /dev/rwd1c > /mnt/edlabel.out', type 'p<return>q<return>'
  - type 'umount /mnt'

This is all from memory, so I hope it is 100% correct ;-)
