When you have a partitioned disk with a swap partition and then you go to Edit NetBSD partitions in utility menu, size of swap partition is zero.

First create partitions on entire disk with default partition sizes:
Start an installation of NetBSD 9.0_RC1:
1. Boot computer with installation disk prepared form image
2. Select Install NetBSD
3. Keyboard type: US-English
4. Install NetBSD to hard disk
5. Shall we continue ? Yes
6. On which disk do you want to install NetBSD ? wd0 (149G)
7. This is the correct geometry
8. Use the entire disk
9. Use default partition sizes
10. Partition sizes ok
11. Shall we continue ? Yes
12. Selected bootblock: BIOS console
Continue
13. Abandon installation
You have partitioned disk.
Next go to Utility menu:
1. Utility menu
2. Partition a disk
Screen shows:

b: wd0a on/(FFSv2)(unused) 145G
c: wd0b (swap) 3894M
3. a: wd0 (149)
4. a: Edit NetBSD partitions
Screen shows:
