I'd check out your configuration of bootparams.  Here is what part of mine
looks like - /etc/bootparams
===
csserver3.wheaton.edu root=csserver2:/scilab/NetBSD/VAX/Csvax2/root swap=csserver2:/scilab/NetBSD/VAX/Csvax2/swap
===
I _think_ (I don't have recall exactly what my log show however) the fact
that the
===
> root addr=192.168.1.1 path=/
===
indicates that it found an IP for your server but may not have the correct
path.

If your bootparams are correct the next thing I'd check is your
permissions on exports for your nfs server.  Remember to send a HUP signal
to mountd after changes on /etc/exports.

Hope this helps.
