These are floppy images. Apparently the i386 port does not create a suitable
"miniroot" image as some other ports do - probably because there has not
been much demand yet.

It would be easy to add though (it is created anyway and embeded into the
kernel on the floppy images).

You could download source on another computer and cross-compile a NetBSD
release, then pick up the "miniroot.fs" created, transfer that to the
root server, dd onto swap partition and boot it - then install the official
sets or your home made ones.
