Thank you for your reply.
Yes I386 is what I am looking for.
The only files I see are..
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.5/i386/installation/floppy/

BSDSUM
CKSUM
MD5
SYSVSUM
boot-big.fs
boot-big.fs.gz
boot-small.fs
boot-tiny.fs
boot1.fs
boot2.fs
bootlap1.fs
bootlap2.fs
rescue-small.fs
rescue-tiny.fs

I am happy to hear this capability may exist, can you point me to docs
detailing the use of the ports (com settings, user id, pw etc.)?

I will search for the above and inform the list of what I find.
