Hmm, based on

  https://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-users/2016/12/09/msg019118.html

I tried disconnecting my serial terminal client and changing the baud
rate to 9600 and reconnecting, and then it worked!

I typed "?" and got the boot prompt help message, and then I typed
"boot", and the installer booted!

It would be great if there was a more elegant solution, but this is a
minor inconvenience, and I won't often be doing an install from the
serial console.

Thanks a million!
