NetBSD 5.0, netboot error: cannot mount root, error = 79

[urbancamo <mark%wickensonline.co.uk@localhost>]

Sorry for being a noob, but I've working through this as much as I can and
researched on the forums as much as I can and don't have a solution.

It'd be really nice to get NetBSD 5.0 working on my VAXstation 4000/90 -
I've tried to get it running NetBSD previously but never quite got there.

Can anyone please help? Many thanks, Mark.

I get the following output:
