Well, what does named.root look like?

That localhost primary line looks fishy, even with the omitteds.  Did you
run make-localhost?

This is what mine looks like:

;	$Id: named.boot,v 1.3 1995/03/23 08:43:02 rgrimes Exp $
;	From: @(#)named.boot	5.1 (Berkeley) 6/30/90

; boot file for secondary name server
; Note that there should be one primary entry for each SOA record.

; example sortlist config:
; sortlist 128.3.0.0

directory	/etc/namedb

; type    domain		source host/file		backup file

cache     .							named.root
primary   0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA	localhost.rev
