that is for new world macs the ofwboot.xcf.  beige g3's are old world 
you also need to set the boot file.  it should be NETBSD.MACPPC. 
however it is in the documentation as described here 
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-2.0.2/macppc/INSTALL.html#Booting%20the%20NetBSD/macppc%20install%20CD-R
