It has not been discontinued. The code from the branch has been merged
into NetBSD-current:

http://mail-index.netbsd.org/source-changes/2008/12/19/msg214238.html

The LVM functionality will therefore be part of the next NetBSD release.

I don't think anybody still has ISO images from back then. You could
however use a NetBSD-current ISO image like this one:

ftp://ftp.fr.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/HEAD/200906040002Z/iso/i386cd.iso

The source code is available via CVS. You can find documentation on
using CVS to obtain NetBSD sources here:

http://www.uk.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-fetch.html#chap-fetch-cvs

You can use "-rhaad-dm" as argument to "cvs checkout" or "cvs update"
to get those old sources. NetBSD-current will however be the better
option as several bugs in LVM have been fixed since the merge.

        Kind regards
