This just means that you have no root.hints file or you do and it is not where bind thinks it should be. There are a couple of way to fix this.

1. You could move your root.hints to /etc
2. You can change your configuration to point to where you have the hints file.

If you don't have a hints file then you should set one up.

This is a simple thing to do. run the following:

dig +bufsize=1200 +norec NS . @a.root-servers.net > /ect/named.root.hints
