No.
If so, the installation would work if the (to be) boot disk has not been zeroed before.
Not really. If the disk you are installing to have some other boot block, for some other system, it will not boot NetBSD any better. Just because you can boot over network does not change the fact that if you want to boot from a disk, that disk needs a proper boot block.
