it's probably a moot point as you will not get beyond boot phase 
2 with an XMI/BI machine and NetBSD right now. But the naming would
be:

>>> BOOT /XMI:x /BI:y ET0

where x is the BI adapter going to the BI bus where ethernet card
sits and y is it's lot number. The x is most likely E or D. A
SHOW CONFIGURATION shows a list of cards so it's easy to find
out those numbers even with closed doors and without confusing
D and E. SHOW ETHERNET shows the MAC addresses, very conveniently.

One other side note: if MAC address or anything is unknown and
hard to get out from the console or if network booting seems to
hang, I highly recommend tcpdump on the boot server to see what's
going on. Can tell you the requesting ethernet MAC too.
