It's sort of described in man 8 disklabel, essentially on i386 the d
partition represents the entire disk, so that's what you use to vnconfig
(since an iso represents an entire disk).

After that netbsd invents a disklabel for the iso, and assigns partition a as
the size of the first partition on the iso (which is the whole thing).

So you could have used /dev/vnd0d or /dev/vnd0a as far as mount
on an iso is concerned since an iso only has one partition.

Hope that makes sense :-)
