This looks ok.

Um, you should move the first MBR partition to a different NetBSD
partition (a->g or so), and create a NetBSD ffs "a" (root) partition.
Here's what I have:
disklabel:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize cpg/sgs]
a: 6722352 1696464 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 # (Cyl. 2992 - 14847)
c: 6722352 1696464 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 2992 - 14847)
d: 8418816 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 14847)
e: 1024001 1 Linux Ext2 0 0 # (Cyl. 0*- 1805)
f: 262521 1024002 swap # (Cyl. 1806 - 2268)
g: 409941 1286523 Linux Ext2 0 0 # (Cyl. 2269 - 2991)
wd0e is the ext2 boot partition - here's what I have in fstab:
raqim# cat /etc/fstab
/dev/wd0a / ffs rw,softdep 0 1
/dev/wd0f none swap sw 0 0
/dev/wd0e /altroot ext2fs rw 0 2
none /kern kernfs rw 0 0
none /proc procfs rw 0 0
After that, I also have:
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 13 May 2 03:50 /boot -> /altroot/boot
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 2169476 May 2 03:55 /netbsd
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 15 May 2 03:54 /netbsd.gz -> /boot/vmlinux.gz
Some tools want an uncompressed netbsd kernel in /, for kernel updating
purpose, I just so a "cp netbsd / ; gzip -c /netbsd >/netbsd.gz".
FWIW, my fdisk says:
Partition table:
0: sysid 131 (Linux native)
start 1, size 1024001 (500 MB), flag 0x0
beg: cylinder 0, head 0, sector 2
end: cylinder 1023, head 8, sector 63
1: sysid 130 (Linux swap or Prime or Solaris)
start 1024002, size 262521 (128 MB), flag 0x0
beg: cylinder 1023, head 8, sector 63
end: cylinder 1023, head 8, sector 63
2: sysid 131 (Linux native)
start 1286523, size 409941 (200 MB), flag 0x0
beg: cylinder 1023, head 8, sector 63
end: cylinder 1023, head 8, sector 63
3: sysid 169 (NetBSD)
start 1696464, size 6722352 (3282 MB), flag 0x0
beg: cylinder 944, head 0, sector 1
end: cylinder 511, head 8, sector 63

This command should do the trick. I can only imagine the filesystem type
of the 'a' partition not being ffs is a problem.
