wd0*b*?  Heh, historically the `b' partition is meant to be swap (but of
course, that's flexible these days ;).

In any case, some machines on some architectures cannot autodetect the boot
device yet.  For those machines, like the one you have, change the line in
the kernel config file which reads:

config netbsd root on ? type ?

to:

config netbsd root on wd0b type ffs
