You used old-style configuration.  NetBSD now has a new way to have swap
space, and no need for 'swap' description builtin.

The kernel header does not match with what bootloader expects.  Recent
Makefile.pmax does make three different kernel images by default; ELF,
A.OUT and ECOFF.  To boot NetBSD/pmax, you need to put A.OUT kernel on
your root directory.  Check and see how Makefile.pmax converts ELF
image into A.OUT and ECOFF format.
