As far as I remember this implies that UnixFS can't find a valid
NetBSD portion of the disk (I'll need to check the source though). Is
the disk completely NetBSD or is it shared with RiscOS ? Another thing
to check would be the swi number specified in the device
specification. Is it the right one ?

Change your config file to specify a single harddisk (change wd* at
wdc0, to wd0 at wdc0) and recompile your kernel.
