Thank you for giving me most important piece of information.

I tried to use FreeBSD's /usr partition as NetBSD's /usr partitions.
I installed NetBSD 2.0.2 Release with sysinstall.
But installer automatically set FreeBSD partitions mount point.
It cause this trouble.

I reinstall NetBSD carefully not to mount FreeBSD partitions.
I can boot NetBSD and /usr is OK.
