The syntax is right.

http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/cobalt/faq.html#netboot

bfd /netbsd.gz nfsroot=/home/raq/root

bfd is the command then the second part is the name of the kernel you
want to load and the third is the absolute path where you start to look
for your files.

So here you would have the kernel named netbsd.gz in the directory
/home/raq/root of your NFS server.

So, if you have for example your kernel in the directory

/n/srv0/DISKLESS/raq2/root/kernel/netbsd.gz

and your NFS root is just /n/srv0/DISKLESS/raq2/root

you would use.

bfd /kernel/netbsd.gz nfsroot=/n/srv0/DISKLESS/raq2/root

Hope this help

Daniel

Here is what I use, you can't actually paste it, the console looses.
bfd /netbsd.gz nfsroot=/n/srv0/DISKLESS/raq2/root
