I don't think I can help you. But which
vi are you using?
vi or
Vim?
On the console or in X Window (which desktop environment)?
Don't know this is useful, bu with OpenBSD in X the output of
$ stty -a :

Some quite old Linux sources that describe keyboard mapping:

Could it be that you configured NetBSD to use a French keyboard layout, and that is causing these issues?
