Partitions c and d are special in the i386 port.  Partition d is the whole
disk and partition c is the whole NetBSD portion of it.  If you make your
MSDOS partitions have different letters, you will probably have more success.

There is also the NetBSD/i386 FAQ at :

  http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/i386/faq.html

specifically :

  http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/i386/faq.html#msdos_partition

PS.  I'm not sure if you will need to put back the 'real' c and d partitions
into your disklabel.
