You are booting the NetBSD ELF format kernel file.  The standard
bootstrap can only understand ECOFF format files.

The 20001004 snapshot has a NetBSD style bootstrap it places in the volume
header... see my other mail message on how to get the installation kernel
loaded on a machine.  That kernel file you used above assumes the NetBSD
bootstrap has been installed.
