Exactly - the point here was that as I understood it, the disk was dd'd
across => what was in the MBR wasn't necessarily pointing to the right
place anymore, but the NetBSD boot blocks had been reinstalled => no
problem there. It still seems to me that the NetBSD boot blocks still
don't get executed, and it is OS-BS that would try to. Otherwise, all
that's left is to look at fdisk and disklabel -r output...
