It did not work, until I changed my pxelinux configuration :
- pxelinux configuration is in pxelinux.cfg/default ;
- I created pxelinux.cfg/vm-mac-address and filled it with just the two lines 
you gave.

Which means something is not right in my pxelinux.cfg/default file (I intend to 
investigate on this later).

I moved back the boot.cfg file, and it got downloaded by the NetBSD boot loader.
I'm now able to select and boot installation kernels.

Thank you very much !
