Sure, the problem is probably that the netboot from that page is
specifically for multia/newer alpha SRM consoles.  Try my slightly
updated and therefore cooler page:
http://www.imrryr.org/NetBSD/alpha/netboot/
which asks an additional question "Broken Firmware [] Yes [] No"
Try Yes for that, and unless I have the wrong boot image lying around
that should work a lot better.

(If you are interested in the problem, see PR#6446).
