Hi,

I'm a bit of a NetBSD and I havn't been able to find how to make PROM 
pass the right arguments to NetBSD GENERIC kernel to tell it to mount 
root automatically, rather than giving me an error about not being 
able to mount root, and prompting me for a root device:

no file system for sd0 (dev 0xa00)
cannot mount root, error = 79
root device (default sd0a): mec0
dump device:
file system (default generic):
root on mec0
nfs_boot: trying DHCP/BOOTP
<and now it uses nfs_root>

How do I get it to use dhcp/bootp nfs_root by default?

Thanks in advance.

regards,
