a) configure a kernel as

	config	nfsnetbsd	root on ? type nfs

configure and make the kernel as normal,  label a floppy and write
the new bootblocks onto the floppy, copy the gzipp'ed kernel
onto the floppy, and boot.  If you've configured a diskless-boot
server it will Just Work.

Alternatively, for several popular NICs, you can burn a bootPROM
capable of loading a kernel over the network and starting it; see
/sys/arch/i386/stand.
