(1) Try to get ofwboot.xcf run first, ignore netbsd / root stuff
    
(2) Try not using the partition # first

   boot hd:,ofwboot.xcf

(3) If (2) doesn't make it, try all numbers,

   boot hd:2,ofwboot.xcf 
   boot hd:3,ofwboot.xcf 
   boot hd:6,ofwboot.xcf 

   ( or all numbers 1 thru 7, I am afraid)

(4) If you get ofwboot.xcf to run, then you try netbsd / root stuff
   (using the way you got above)

  boot hd:,ofwboot.xcf hd:4/netbsd
 
I hope your good luck,
