fstab tells netbsd what partitions to mount. If you tell it to mount sd1g
at /usr, thats what it will do. It doesn't know what you set up with your
formatter, it will mount whatever is at partition g on your internal disk.

This is good because you don't have to change your scsi IDs.

I think your problem is that your partition that you want to be /usr isn't
at g.
Try one of the other letters,

There is one other thing, just to make it more interesting, there is a
special partition, it might be c that netbsd uses for the whole disk.

I'm not certain which partition it is, but you should watch out for it.
Silver lining might give you a clue on this.
