Thank You! That info help me a lot!

Now I have reach some closer to th goal!

But - stopping (on the Sun) at

[...]

root on le0
swap on le0
dump on le0
nfs_boot: using network interface 'le0'
nfs_boot: client_addr=0 ...
nfs_boot: server_addr=0 ...
nfs_boot: hostname=mose
root on aron:/mnt/netbsd/
swap on aron:/mnt/netbsd/swap_file

and stopping. Nothing more. It seems to me that the Sun
is looking for the miniroot program but can't find it.

I created the swap-file with:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/netboot/netbsd-vax/swap.file bs=4096 count=4096

as written in the vax-howto.

Someone have an idea?
