You need disklabel, newfs and tar for a manual installation.

But probably easier would be to get into the installer somehow. Can you
try an ISO image from a newer netbsd-9 build (or even 10.0 BETA)?

You can download them from

	https://nycdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-9/latest/
or
	https://nycdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-10/latest/
