Uh huh. This sounds fairly similar to a recently fixed issue with old
filesystems created by the MacOS mkfs tool.

Can you please send-pr the issue? There's a web form at
<http://www.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/sendpr.cgi?gndb=netbsd>.

If you can boot into an install kernel and drop to a shell prompt,
something like

fsck_ffs -c2 /dev/rsd0a

should be able to upgrade the filesystem to something that makes sense to
NetBSD 4. Otherwise... you'd need to set up the disk from scratch with
sysinst.
