well, it looks like something rather bad(tm) happened
first, check that you have a partition that is labeled as a NetBSD
one (from pfdisk or something)
then, if you don't, try just labelling it as such and trying again.
if you do, proceed to attempting to mount it (boot from a floppy,
fsck /dev/sd0a or whatever it is), and mount /dev/sd0a /mnt
look for a kernel in /mnt
I can't really help anymore from here.. it does sound like your
drive got trashed badly.... you might have to format and re-install??
(that does suck)
see if you can salvage anything though...
