So you are booting the ldom virtual cdrom image.
I have not tried this before, but will try this as well.

Instead I have been using the miniroot.fs image - this image is mapped by 
the ldom virtual disk manager as an ordinary disk block device.

The is from the t4 ldom setup I have access to:

...
ldm add-domain netbsd1
ldm add-vcpu 1 netbsd1
ldm add-memory 1G netbsd1
zfs create tank/ldom/netbsd1

ldm add-vdsdev /tank/ldom/netbsd1/fs/miniroot.fs 
netbsd1-miniroot@primary-vds0
ldm add-vdsdev /tank/ldom/netbsd1/fs/disk0 netbsd1-disk0@primary-vds0
ldm add-vdsdev /tank/ldom/netbsd1/fs/disk1 netbsd1-disk1@primary-vds0
ldm add-vdsdev /tank/ldom/netbsd1/fs/disk2 netbsd1-disk2@primary-vds0
ldm add-vdsdev /tank/iso/NetBSD-cdrom.iso netbsd1-cdrom-iso@primary-vds0
ldm add-vdsdev /tank/iso/NetBSD-dvd.iso netbsd1-dvd-iso@primary-vds0

ldm add-vdisk miniroot netbsd1-miniroot@primary-vds0 netbsd1
ldm add-vdisk disk0 netbsd1-disk0@primary-vds0 netbsd1
ldm add-vdisk disk1 netbsd1-disk1@primary-vds0 netbsd1
#ldm add-vdisk disk2 netbsd1-disk2@primary-vds0 netbsd1
ldm add-vdisk cdrom netbsd1-cdrom-iso@primary-vds0 netbsd1
ldm add-vdisk dvd netbsd1-dvd-iso@primary-vds0 netbsd1

ldm add-vnet vnet0 primary-vsw0 netbsd1
ldm set-var auto-boot\?=false netbsd1
...

Try to see if you can get your system further with the miniroot.fs method
