Hi,
  I do this quite a lot. Ok sounds like you have the dhcp/tftp side of
things sorted.
What command are you using to load/boot the kernel ?

You should just be able to do somehting like

boot ne0:

which should load and then run the kernel so you should not have to worry
about using the call command.

As to the kernel config. If you just want a kernel that will mount nfs as
the root filesystem them you just need to make sure that NFS is configured
and the config line the config file reads something like

config netbsd root on ne0 type nfs
