What does your partition table look like? Could you have accidently
set up wd0a as the linux /boot partition? When the system boots,
it expects wd0a to contain the NetBSD / partition. As an alternative,
perhaps you got wd0a set up correctly, but the disklabel claims it
is ext2fs instead of ffs?
Good luck,
