Digging through the netboot code, I find that I was wrong. The delay where I thought that it was loading the kernel was really just a slow nfs-mount. :-( So, the (current) problem is in my attempt to mount the swap file. It has nothing to do with the rootfs or the kernel. Has anyone else mounted files as fs (the -r option to mountd) on "current" (CVSup'ed on Apr 18th)?
