Thank you for the response.

The df result is the following.

p630: {1} df
Filesystem  512-blocks     Used     Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/wd0a      7883408   293164   7196072     3%    /

(I just re-installed NetBSD system today.)

I made partitions by Anubis Utility, and "newfs" wd0a from the IDE-patched 
instkernel.
Binary files are "pax"ed  to wd0a, and wd0a can be used as a root directory 
when booted from kernel in MacOS partition.

The "disklabel" result is the following.

p630: {1} disklabel wd0
# /dev/rwd0c:
