I'm glad to see yet another NetBSD/hp300 user :-)

Maybe you extracted sets via NFS?
Checking if commands in miniroot (memory disk) work would be worth.

You used SCSI disk and on single user, right?
"mount -u /" makes root read/write.

One possibility is kernel/userland memory/MMU settings.
Checking NetBSD's initial MMU settings in locore.s might help?
 https://nxr.netbsd.org/xref/src/sys/arch/hp300/hp300/locore.s?r=1.172#456

IIRC, NetBSD uses both %srp and %crp, but NEWS-OS (for news68k)
only uses %crp but also use %tt0 and %tt1.
(though it seems hp-ux kernel also sets %srp)

At least my HP362 works fine with NetBSD/hp300 9.1:
 https://dmesgd.nycbug.org/index.cgi?do=view&id=5936
so I believe no CPU/MMU/device specific problems in NetBSD side.
