Did you decide that you didn't want wd0a at the start of the mbr partition?
Changing that (which is quite hard work!) will make the boot difficult.

You should be able to get the system running by interrupting the 10 second
countdown when booting from the install CD and typing 'boot hd0a:'

Then rerun check the mbr partitions (with fdisk) and the netbsd label
(with disklabel) to see which partition is at the start of the type 169
netbsd partition.
It should start with the contents of /usr/mdec/bootxx_ffsv1
(excpet that the second sector is the netbsd label).

To re-write it use:
    installboot /dev/rwd0a /usr/mdec/bootxx_ffsv1
