For my color board, I had a similar problem.  I was told to make a system 
file with no inits or control panels, but the MODE32 init for 32 bit 
addressing.  I did so.  This forced the color board to operate in 1 bit 
b/w mode.  From that system, I could boot NetBSD 1.0 problem free.

If removing the colorboard init does not force your colorboard into 1 bit 
mode and the NetBSD booter still fails, try putting the colorboard 
init/control panels in the system folder, set the board to 1 bit b/w, and 
boot from there.

Good luck!
