It's probably quickest to just make some bootfloppies

ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.5/i386/installation/floppy/boot1.fs
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.5/i386/installation/floppy/boot2.fs
http://www.tux.org/pub/dos/rawrite/rawrite.exe

(run rawrite to create the bootfloppies in M$-OS from the above *.fs images)
and boot up with them - if you get the sysinst screen, chances are all will
be alright..

Cheers,
