Did you have a look at 
http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/network/netboot/

I never use this boot.fs thing. I usually use a "full" NetBSD diskless
system. 

My NetBSD kernel hacking victim VAX is set up this way:
tester:\
        ht=ethernet:\
        ha=08002b325dc8:\
        ip=192.168.1.9:\
        rp=/nfsroot/NetBSD/vax

You have to untar at least kern.tgz, base.tgz and etc.tgz in
/nfsroot/NetBSD/vax and run "MAKEDEV all" in the dev dir.

If you are asking about bootp, I can assume that moping the bootstrap
already works? This bootstrap will load the kernel via NFS, no tftp is
required.
