I copied ofwboot.xcf to HFS partition,and netbsd kernel to old FFS partition. Also, I did not use load-size and adler32.I didn't either :) I entered "boot cd:,\ofwboot.xcf netbsd.macppc" then hit ENTER. Every other output is from the PROM.
I've seen this on a G3 iMac - OF would refuse to run ofwboot.xcf from cd ( spewing some completely bogus error message, I think it was the same as you got ) but the exact same binary, copied to a HFS+ partition, Just Worked(tm). Maybe it helps to play with the command line syntax, Apple OF is weird in more than one way. There's a small chance that boot cd:ofwboot.xcf will work. Also, you don't need to specify the kernel's file name, ofwboot will try some well known names.
