Root and bootdev are different, aren't they?  Multiboot
NetBSD 4.99.4 kernel needed root=wd0a not root=wd0 when I
tried it last night.

Having both root= and bootdev= sounds great if it's
possbile.

P.S. I have another question.  Is there any way to pass -s
or -a arguments to Multiboot NetBSD kernel from GRUB?

Sure, If I remember correctly:

title NetBSD/MultiBoot
kernel (hd0,1,a)/netbsd console=pc -s
