The issue is that we changed our partition ID so people could dual
boot FreeBSD and NetBSD. Previously, we both had the same ID.

The fix is:

a) Install new boot blocks with installboot
b) fix your partition ID with fdisk

IMPORTANT: Note that you must complete both operations before
rebooting, or you will fail to reboot.

Once you have both new boot blocks and a new partition ID in place,
you can reboot.
