I guess you mean that a CD won't work for you.

I have installed NetBSD a few times over a serial connection. I had to
modify sysinst so it would list sl0 as a valid network interface choice
during the install. Then during the sysinst, I went to the shell set up
the slip connection (with already-included slattach and ifconfig), and the
returned to sysinst to finish the install.

This was under 1.4.x and 1.5.x. The last few times I tried with 1.6, it
appeared that slip was broken.

Others have told me that it doesn't work for them too.
