What does fdisk show?   (ie: the MBR label).

fdisk on wd0 run from the utility shell of the install cd says:

0: NetBSD (sysid 169)
  bootmenu: NetBSD
  start 2048, size 625140400, Active
1: <UNUSED>
2: <UNUSED>
3: <UNUSED>
Bootselector disabled.
First active partition: 0


If I just boot into 9.3 an run it (so I can easily copy it instead of typing it from screen):
Disk: /dev/rwd0
NetBSD disklabel disk geometry:
cylinders: 620181, heads: 16, sectors/track: 63 (1008 sectors/cylinder)
total sectors: 625142448, bytes/sector: 512

BIOS disk geometry:
cylinders: 1022, heads: 255, sectors/track: 63 (16065 sectors/cylinder)
total sectors: 625142448

Partitions aligned to 16065 sector boundaries, offset 63

Partition table:
0: NetBSD (sysid 169)
    bootmenu: NetBSD
    start 2048, size 625140400 (305244 MB, Cyls 0/32/33-38913/80/63), Active
1: <UNUSED>
2: <UNUSED>
3: <UNUSED>
Bootselector disabled.
First active partition: 0
Drive serial number: 3120074710 (0xb9f88fd6)


which seems consistent.
