On the contrary, I understand exactly what you are saying.

And what you are doing is wrong. You should tell it "boot.mop" and that 
file is the one that you found in the installation/netboot directory of the 
NetBSD 1.5.2 Distribution. Instead you are trying to tell it to load 
'netbsd' which is the kernel. The kernel doesn't have a clue how to boot 
itself, it only knows how to initialize the system once the boot loader has 
loaded it.
