rarp and bootparamd are the old, Sun style, way. Today you should use
bootpd: Simply replace rarp and bootparamd by:
Set up bootpd. Put somthing like
-----
oblina:\
        ht=ethernet:\
        ha=08002b25f66a:\
        ip=192.168.1.16:\
        bf=/nfsroot/oblina/netbsd:\
        rp=/nfsroot/oblina
-----
into /etc/bootptab, edit /etc/inetd.conf to enable the "bootps" service
and restart inetd by
kill -HUP `cat /var/run/inetd.pid`

In a larger setup with dynamic hosts, dhcpd can be used to replace
bootpd.
