Can you see if there are bogus EFI boot entries that might be interfering,
and then delete all those which don't correspond to the NetBSD EFI ESP?
-HEAD now has an efi(8) utility which can do it:

efi -B -b NNNN

(On my BIOS, I can delete _all_ boot entries, and it will auto-create one
for each ESP partition on the disk. The one in my home laptop also works this
way; and almost every BIOS will let you create entries which you can then boot
after using a key like F2.)
