On current, B+ works fine,I use B+ and SSD to make packages.

1. look at current install image 

such as 
http://nyftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/HEAD/201408262100Z/evbarm-earmhf/binary/gzimg/rpi_inst.img.gz
 

is install image.

2. http://wiki.netbsd.org/ports/evbarm/raspberry_pi/ 

Check "Installation with sshramdisk image" section.
 .. After starting DHCP client, SSH login to with user "sysinst", and password 
"netbsd".

please put apps/package list If you can.

My status:
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/jun/raspberry-pi/earmhf/

On pkg_install.conf:
PKG_PATH=ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/jun/raspberry-pi/earmhf/2014-09-20/

and pkg_add packagename .

If I have a trouble with package,
PKG_PATH=ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/jun/raspberry-pi/earmhf/2014-OLDDAYS.../
and rollback package.

on /boot/cmdline.txt

root=ld0a console=fb

If you change ld0 to sd0,

root=sd0a console=fb

use root partition on USB harddisk.
