No. 'Upgrade' is supposed to upgrade an existing installation of NetBSD.

/dev/rwd0a contains no valid ffs filesystem. No surprise since Drive
Setup can only create HFS or HFS+ partitions which NetBSD doesn't
yet understand ( work is underway but I don't think it would be a good
idea to use such a filesystem as root any time soon )

Pick 'Install' next time and let the installer create NetBSD filesystems
for you.

have fun
Michael
