Yes, I am going to research and report to you. so go with me.

When the hard disk worked well, it was partioning by HD SC setup 7.3.5(?), 
and newfsed by Mkfs 1.47(?), and installed by Installer(Version?).

1.5Q install kernel failed in this disk(I forget messages in detail).
B's Crew(commercial application) also required initialization for the
disk(messages cannotupdate driver...etc), so I thought that boot
records were wrong.

Just at once, please you forget about boot records. NetBSD partion
size(2400MB) or location(before is sd0g, this time is sd0a) is anxious
for me.
