What brings you to this assumption?
I think I had to
use some 5.x Release to get it booted from a DEQNA/DELQA at all.
That is the
problem. There is some strange bug in the (network) boot
loader. Maybe a GCC bug. Therefore netbooting has been broken for quite
some time. As nobody with the required skils cares it stays there.
After all NetBSD is a voluntary project. But you can use an older
version of the bootloader to boot release-6 or even -current.
