Isn't your keyboard on that system attached via USB?  If so that's your 
problem.  As the note on that snapshot indicates, boot.fs isn't built 
with USB support.  Since you're booting from the hard drive anyway try 
copying the netbsd.ram.gz image there and booting it instead:

   boot hd:9,ofwboot.elf hd:9,netbsd.ram.gz

That file is an Installation Kernel that contains USB support and you 
should be able to respond to the terrminal type prompt.
