 This is very strange.
 
 Does the ld0 disk appear somehow in the output of sysctl machdep.diskinfo?
 I guess it should be wd1 there, as you said boot hd1a:/netbsd works from
 usb.
 
 I wonder if the bios keeps it at index 1 (0x81) even if booting from it,
 but passes 0x80 to the boot block? Debugging this will probably involve
 creating special boot blocks with "look how far I got" printouts. Can
 you reboot that machine freely for testing? If so, we should take this
 off-list/gnats and report results back later.
