There is nothing wrong with mkisofs 1.13


The problem is that for Some reason to do with vnd
/dev/vnd0a is different from /dev/vnd0c (vnd0d on port-i386)

Mount the whole disk image, problem solved.

The error is in having examples that are wrong in the
FAQ "HOWTO create a bootable NetBSD CD-ROM."
<http://www.NetBSD.org/Documentation/bootcd.html>
and no mention of this problem in "bugs" section
of any man page.
