Yeah, I installed the kernel.  It was kern.tgz, though?  Anyway, from
mini-shell I can see the file there 'netbsd' it's ~1.4MB.  It's on the root
partition.  And everything looks okay from there.  I've left the thing
blank... nothing...   Same error.  What else can I check?

Leave it blank.  It should find the right one automatically, I believe.

Did you install a kernel?  It sounds like you didn't.  Try installing the
netbsd.tgz file...

Later.
