Magic numbers do not match?

I have been following the progress of NetBSD 4.0 through the
RC5 
version and find that my Powerbook 180 sporting a Cabletron
EA414 
SCSI/ethernet adaptor can actually boot kern-GENERICSBC just
fine 
(kern-GENERIC hangs at "waiting for device to
settle")  Problem is, 
when I use: < /sbin/mount -u -w / > to mount the root
file system 
read/write and modify /etc/rc.conf to read
<rc_configured=YES> I get a 
message saying that the magic numbers do not match when I
reboot.  
What's the problem here?  Any suggestions?

Hmmm...

Can you access the root partition from single user mode?

What does a 'file /dev/rsd0a' say?

When and how (as in: What NetBSD version, from sysinst or
the MacOS mkfs
tool) was the file-system created?

Can you mount the root filesystem after booting from an
install kernel?

Can you mount the root filesystem from a NetBSD 3.x install
kernel?
