If you're feeling adventurous you could try out:
	ftp.unit.no:/pub/NetBSD/local-patches/boot.com
This dos program can load the netbsd kernel from a dos file
or directly from disk (just as the normal biosboot bootblocks).
It's still being tested but it's in some 'production use' up here.

Please tell us whether it works for you...
