I've got the base filesystem setup.  And now have managed to get it to the
point where the kernel loads.  (I think.  I can see it go out over the
wire.)  So I think it is in fact waiting for a hint about NFS.

I think the following should work:

-config          netbsd        root on ? type ?
+config          netbsd        root on ? type nfs

no?  Unfortunately, I can't build such a kernel.  Any kind souls willing
to do so and post on web/mail it to me?
