OK. You have enough "system" on your disk to boot from it. 
Is the disk bootable? 
If not boot from the install CDROM, exit install to a shell
and install the boot blocks:
disklabel -B sd0
(if this still works)
or use installboot:
installboot /dev/rsd0a /usr/mdec/bootxx_ffs
Make sure that there is a /boot or /boot.vax in the root-fs.
If not copy it from /usr/mdec.
(From memory, I may be wrong. Read the disklabel and installboot 
man pages via the web interface on http://www.netbsd.org/)
Or boot the install kernel with the option "-a", redirect it to 
mount "sd0a" when you are asked and install boot blocks...

This should not happen. If you got the machine booting from the
disk, try extracting games.tgz again. If it still fails please 
save the core dump for further debuging. Maybe you can do a 
gdb pax pax.core
and then give it the command "bt".
