Your disklabel looks really weird. Normally, under NetBSD, Partition 'd'
isn't actually a Partition you can mount, it's the whole disk, while
Partition 'c' ist the whole NetBSD-Portion of the disk. In your case a
and b looks the same, which is weird also. And they start with 0 which
isn't correct either.
I suggest that you look in the NetBSD Handbook. There is a section about
"Adding a new Harddisk" where there is a nice description of how to
write a new disklabel to the disk. You should create a correct NetBSD
disklabel which at least should contain an 'a' partition with the values
below:
