Usually this means you need to create a file in /tftpboot on the NFS
server whose name is the IP address as an 8-digit hexadecimal number.
That is, 192.0.0.1 would be C0000001, and you could create a dummy file
for the NetBSD box with
touch /tftpboot/C0000001
Also, double check that you have lines /etc/ethers, /etc/hosts, and
/etc/bootparams corresponding to your machine's Ethernet (MAC)
address/IP/hostname.
