Isn't there one more step about creating the /etc/fstab file?  I though
sure there was.  If not, you need to add another entry in the file to
tell NetBSD to mount /usr (the above steps only get it mounted during
the install process):

# filesys	mount point	type	access		dump	fsck
# location				+ opts		freq	pass
#
/dev/sd0a	/		ffs	rw		1	1
/dev/sd0b	none		swap	sw		0	0
/dev/sd0g	/usr		ffs	rw		1	2
