My best guess: the former didn't include the full kernel symbol table, the
latter, per default, does. (You need the kernel symbol table if you want to
use the in-kernel "ddb" debugger).

If you would 'loadbsd -aAS netbsd', you would get 1624, too.
If you would tell the bootblock to 'netbsd -A', you would get 1669, too.
