On which SCSI ID is your CDROM? I'll assume 3 for now. Then you'd boot like this:
boot scsi-int/sd@3:0 netbsd.macppc
There are no useful devaliases for the CDROM in the S900's firmware. You could make them yourself though.

later, when you're done installing you'll probably want to set boot-device to scsi-int/sd@0:0 ( assuming your disk is at ID 0 ) and boot-file to the name of your kernel ( usually netbsd )

have fun
