Thanks to all who replied to my post. I finally got it to work. What I did wrong was that, 1) I was missing ultrixboot file since I tarred everything over from /dlclient0/client.root, and apparently one isn't needed there, and 2) the number of partition a is 0 and not 1 so that when doing setenv, the proper value should be something like rz(0,3,0)vmunix (that is the last digit should be 0). Since I had the digit wrong, it was trying to boot from partition b, the swap partition, and naturally was giving me btblk message, which wasn't really my problem. After that, ifconfig line in rc has to come before mounting any nfs partitions, and it will work. Thanks for your help.
