A few hours ago I pleaded:

It turns out that the line should have read:
config vmunix root on type nfs swap on type spec sd0b
All I was missing was the "type spec" part. As comedian Steve Martin
says, "two simple words." Special thanks to Kathy Holle
<holle@asc.slb.com> for the quickest reply with the right answer.
Thanks also to David Wiseman <magi@csd.uwo.ca> and George Nassiopoulos
<nassio@cfa.harvard.edu> who also knew what the problem was and got
their answers to me before I could write this summary.
