OK I'm only guessing, but the disklabel shows "sectors/track 255" most 
disks have 63 sectors/track, I don't know if that's gonna cause any 
problems. If you're having some filesystem corruption you may want to 
scan the surface of your hard disk for bad sectors etc. What you can 
also do is blank out the disk and reinstall NetBSD, maybe fdisk or 
disklabel got confused

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rwd0c bs=64k

this will destroy all data on disk, it takes about 30min for a 40GB disk

may be that will help
