This means that the first sector of the netbsd partition doesn't contain
the next level boot code.

You should be able to boot the system by interrupting the install boot
and typing 'boot wd0a:', alternatively exit sysinst, mount the filesystem
and chroot into it.

Then run installboot /usr/mdec/bootxx_ffsv1 /dev/rwd0a
Note that this assumes that wd0a is at the start of the mbr partition.
