It depends on what the server is running.
Maybe "man mountd" will offer hints...

Make sure the server grants "root" access to the client.

For purposes of installation, you need only netbsd-rd in the
root directory for the client.  The netbsd-rd kernel demands
that a swap file exist, but it may be zero length.
