Hmmm...

Can you access the root partition from single user mode?

What does a 'file /dev/rsd0a' say?

When and how (as in: What NetBSD version, from sysinst or the MacOS mkfs
tool) was the file-system created?

Can you mount the root filesystem after booting from an install kernel?

Can you mount the root filesystem from a NetBSD 3.x install kernel?
