You need to put a netbsd partition on the disk. NetBSD wants to put its 
disklabel only in its own partition or at offset 0. So maybe repartition your disk 
leaving one cylinder free ( the last one ... ) then create a Netbsd partition 
on it ( maybe using NetBSD-fdisk ) and then create a disktab entry looking like :
slice a <- contains NetBSD partition ( the last cyl. )
slice b < contains nothing
slice c <- contains NetBSD partition ( like a)
slice d <- contains whole disk.
slice e <- contains msdos
