Hubert,

I figured it was disks so I looked around a little more on the netbsd ftp 
site.  I found that there is a snapshot with some procedures that include 
many more steps than I used.  I decided to go through these processes and 
I still get the same error.  Basically these other procedures have you do 
a series of mknod commands to create a set of devices. 

A Sun Blade is an IDE system.  So I created the set of devices and 
modified the fstab file to use wd0 devices.  I guess now the bigger 
question is do I actually use wd0 or wd1 or wd2.  My disks are as follows:
c0t0d0 (Solaris)
c0t1d0 (CDROM)
c0t2d0 (NetBSD)

Your question about the boot process finding disks, it does not appear 
that they are found.   It determines my memory, system type, and processor 
speed.  Shortly after it stops asking for the root device?

All assistance is appreciated.

Thanks!

Um, disks? 8-)

It looks as if the kernel didn't find any disks. Can you look for
"sd0" (SCSI disk) or "wd0" in the output before that lines? 
Posting the full boot output would help...
