Ha, maybe it's because of the way the devices are defined.
For me, with
disk = [ 'file:/domains2/meaban-hvm.vnd,ioemu:hda,w', 'file:/domains2/boot-netbsdc-amd64-serial.iso,ioemu:hdc:cdrom,r' ]

I get a hang similar to what you describe.
With
disk = [ 'file:/domains2/meaban-hvm.vnd,xvda,w', 'file:/domains2/boot-netbsdc-amd64-serial.iso,xvdb,r' ]

it boots
