Need to export that too, of course, and arrange for it to be
mounted by adding the appropriate line to /etc/fstab, i.e.

 server:/export/netbsd.sun3/usr /usr nfs ro,-r=1024,-w=1024

When this is the last thing you see, it usually means init
can not open the console device.  Does /dev/console exist?
