This is normal if mfsroot fails. A follow-up to my own post: The above paragraph is incorrect. The NFS root mount is proper, expected, and required -- but the failures you see later on (e.g. /etc/fstab missing, etc. -- which are in your private mail to me but not here), I believe, are a result of the mfsroot stuff not working.
