Not surprising: on NetBSD both the whole disk device name and the `d'
name are the same device:

$ ls -l /dev/r{w,s}d0{,d}
crw-r-----  1 root  operator  13, 3 Aug 26  2019 /dev/rsd0
crw-r-----  1 root  operator  13, 3 Aug 26  2019 /dev/rsd0d
crw-r-----  1 root  operator   3, 3 Aug 26  2019 /dev/rwd0
crw-r-----  1 root  operator   3, 3 Aug 26  2019 /dev/rwd0d
$

Out of curiosity: does the i386-current install image boot?
Have you tried the NetBSD-9.99.88-amd64-live.img.gz image?
