Older firmware... it tries to boot MacOS (Systemfolder on a HFS(+) volume)  and that's totally different from booting NetBSD. 
You have to do some additional voodoo to boot it. 
( Can't help you there, I have the same problem but still can't access OF... BTW - is there an easy way to use some PC as terminal on the serial OF console ? Linux manages to put the serials into 
some RS232 mode but OF uses 422 )

have fun
