My fault.  Sorry for the noise.  Just been up to many hours struggling
to get NetBSD 3.0 working.

Mistake was that I thought critical_filesystems_remote= in /etc/rc.conf
_added to_ the defaults, not overwrote them.  Says right there "can be
overridden".  Oh, well.

This one is still there, though.  Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong
very welcome.
