I suspect you need to change the root-path option to point to the real NFS
root directory of the MVME board. The bootloader loads the 'netbsd' kernel
directly from there over NFS, not TFTP.

For one of my boards, I have:

host maggie {
        hardware ethernet 08:00:3e:2a:33:38;
        fixed-address 192.168.2.10;
        filename "/var/tftpboot/netboot";
        option root-path "/export/diskless/maggie";
}
