I don't know, but if it has a i386 and some RAM (I'm not sure if 2MB are
enough, 4MB should be ~ok), then I'd just try it. Download the floppies
boot1.fs and boot2.fs or maybe even bootlap[12].fs from
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.5_BETA/i386/installation/floppy/,
then write them to two floppy disks using rawrite ot rawrite32. Boot the
first floppy, and follow the on-screen instructions.

Some (maybe?) useful links:
