I would expect the correct command to be
boot enet:ofwboot.xcf enet:/netbsd-GENERIC_MD.gz
as the "0," prefix would be a partition detail and the network loader
would not load any partitioning.
Have you tried (just for a test) to boot the plain GENERIC kernel that
way? The MD variant could be too big, and you could use a NFS root
to work around that.
