Unless they have changed recently the 1.4.1 install kernels are missing 
the ramdisk image required for the install to work. However it should 
still have booted and identified the hardware present in your machine.

has install kernels for NetBSD-1.4K which have been successfully used 
to install 1.4.1. I would recommend using 640x480 in 256 colours with a 
60Hz refresh rate. This is the mode I use by default for my console and 
I know for a fact that the install kernels above will boot and display 
correctly at this resolution on my system at least. Others have also 
used these kernels but I do not know what the display resolution they 
were using.
