I've tried quite a few ways, the only ones that comes even close
for the boot kernel being...

boot hd:,\netbsd.ram

and for the regular kernel...

boot hd:,\netbsd.generic

I've tried booting from a hybrid CDROM but with that it fails with
a can't open device error and printing the device...

/pci@f2000000/mac-io@17/ata-4@1f000/@0:6,\\:tbxi

Yes, that's what I wondered. I've noticed that no one else has mentioned
getting NetBSD to boot on a 7450 on the list.

I'll go do that. I'll post it soon.

Yeah, I meant the new beta 2 snapshot of 1.5.1.
