I'm in the same boat as you.  Welcome to the 8200-series users club :-)

You can use console floppy drive to boot already-installed NetBSD off a

There is some network support -- you can run SLIP or PPP over auxiliary
console lines.  A minimalist installation kernel can be built that will fit
onto single RX50.
