Takashi,

You need to make sure you pass a numeric number to NDSolve. You can
accomplish this by breaking up the problem up into two steps:

sol[a_?NumericQ] := (f /. NDSolve[ {D[f[
  x], {x, 1}] - 2 x - a == 0, f[0] == 0}, f, {x, -3, 3}]) [[1]][2]

FindRoot[sol[a] == 4, {a, -10, 10}]

{a -> -7.317156653158504*^-9}

Hope this helps,

Cheers,

Brian
