I did this on my PCI G4 a couple of weeks ago, and while I can't check
it right now, I don't think I set boot-command away from the default;
I just set boot-device and boot-file and auto-boot? to yes.

Pain and suffering! ofwboot.xcf can read files from the netbsd
partition; does that not work for you? ("boot hd:10,ofwboot.xcf
hd:12/netbsd" or the like). Or netboot, but really, going back and
forth shouldn't be necessary.
