You still have to get your kernel loaded by whatever bootstrap
mechanism, but the hardwiring ip addresses into your kernel bit has
been removed.

NetBSD-current (as of an hour ago) will use a combination of bootp
requests and sun rpc, instead of explicit hard coded infromation to
nfs mount root and swap.

More information on how to configure all of this will be appear
tomorrow sometime.
