Well, I don't see anything wrong there.  I'm wondering if something
tried to use your NetBSD root filesystem as if it were apple ufs and
in the process corrupted it.

Can you boot a 2.0_BETA install kernel, get a shell and run:
  fsck_ffs -d -n -f /dev/rwd0a

and send the output, or at least the start of the output if it is long?

In particular, i'm looking to see if that fsck thinks it is
an apple ufs filesystem and if it thinks it is corrupted.
