Interestingly, there really is no "kernel" command.  Typing "k<TAB>" at 
the grub prompt gives a list of all the commands that start with letter 
'k' and "kernel" is not in the list.

HOWEVER, there _is_ a command named "knetbsd".  And it _worked_!  I have 
now successfully gotten to the netbsd multi-user console prompt.

Thanks for your patience, the hints, and especially the encouragement. 
I was getting close to quitting on this box.  Instead, I just now need 
to figure out how to get X working!
