The image includes an MBR and NetBSD will create a default disklabel for it.
E.g.:

8 partitions:
#        size    offset     fstype [fsize bsize cpg/sgs]
 a:   2865152      2048     4.2BSD   1024  8192    16  # (Cyl.      1 -   1399)
 c:   2865152      2048     unused      0     0        # (Cyl.      1 -   1399)
 d:   2867200         0     unused      0     0        # (Cyl.      0 -   1399)

You can then use /dev/vnd0a to mount the filesystem.
