| When I boot with "boot net netbsd -s", only I got another message,

| I'm missing something?
| Any ideas?

Sounds like it can't read init over NFS.  Considering the state of the
1.5.x kernels, I'd recommend trying -current first, and if that doesn't
work try booting a kernel with an embedded ramdisk and see if you can
mount and access those directories over NFS.
