...did it used to be bootable?  You have to specify the "f" or "g"
slive/partition sometimes:

try:

ok boot /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/ide@3/cdrom:2,0:f netbsd

...are you getting any other errors to the conole? from ESP* or SD*?  Try
logging the output of your xterminal (assuming you're on serial console
in) using -l or script(1)
