I found this post in the recent archives.

I had the same problem and I was able to fully install NetBSD by using cpin
to copy all of the tarballs onto the BSD file system. Then I booted into
single user mode and unpacked all of the tarballs. This method also turned
out to be a lot faster than installing from MacOS.
