Well... It WORKED! :) As you suspected, my ethernet network was not fast 
enough, and I think it was because there were so many 10Mbps HUB nodes 
between my system and the NFS host. So, I've brought the host next to my 
system, and liked it to my system through one 100Mbps HUB. And it also 
works well! In addition to that, kernel downloading speed has increased 
greatly.

It is a pity that NetBSD didn't complain about it. If it did, I might be 
able to save a lot of time... But I'm so happy that it works.

Thanx again for your advice.
