I chose a full install and it went smoothly, albeit slowly (as one might expect), and when I was dropped back to the monitor I found myself entirely unable to boot.  I assumed that sd(0,0,0)netbsd was what I wanted (for my disk at SCSI target 0) but that did not work.  Various other permutations of partition choices yielded no result.  What am I missing here?

Just to confirm is the scsi disk target 0? (probe-scsi) - netbsd will
name the first disk as sd0 even its its on a non zero scsi target.

As a quick workaround you should be able to boot the cdrom kernel with
-a and then give sd0a as the root filesystem.
