Subject: How to make VaxStation 3100 automatically boot NetBSD?

I've just installed NetBSD 2.0 on a VaxStation 3100. Unlike 1.6.2,.
which core dumped binaries, it works absolutely fine so far.
One thing I haven't found out is how to make the machine boot
automatically.
I have SET BOOT DKA100 (I'm using the SCSI 0 disk as the boot device),
and in fact the NetBSD boot loader kicks in on startup. However, after
counting down it just stops at the > prompt, and I still have to
manually enter "boot netbsd".
Is there a way to automatically tell the machine which kernel to load?
I have used installboot sd0c /dev/sd0c /usr/mdec/sdboot /usr/mdec/boot
to install the bootblocks.
