There you can enter "boot netbsd", or instead of pressing "any" key, just
press enter, this will break the countdown, which is not working on some
machines, and continues standard bootstrap (which is "boot netbsd" :-)

Maybe ragge has the old syntax. This version of the booter has a kind of
"commands", the older one just did know about boot, you had to enter the
device and kernel name (for example ra(0)netbsd or so)

Good luck with this...
