It's pretty easy:

put ...release/installation/miniroot/miniroot.kmod and 
    ...release/binary/kernel/netbsd-GENERIC.gz 

onto your file server.

Boot, drop into the bootblock prompt, then:
======================
enable modules
load /miniroot.kmod
boot
======================

Actually - write a short boot.cfg to the NFS root, too, the you don't 
have to intervene. Mine looks like this:

gnatios@theory 26 % cat boot.cfg
banner=Informatik V NetBSD/i*86 - Installation
banner=
menu=Installation NetBSD-5 32bit:load /miniroot5.kmod;boot netbsd5gen
menu=Installation NetBSD-5.1 32bit:load /miniroot51.kmod;boot netbsd51
menu=Installation NetBSD-current 32bit:load /minirootcur.kmod;boot 
netbsdcur.mono
menu=Boot prompt - nur fuer Fortgeschrittene!:prompt
