no. the miniroot contains the netbsd bootblock.

Btw, there is another potential problem: all of the root or swap partition

well, if you don't have, you can't boot it!

loadbsd looks onto the AmigaOS file system for the kernel to boot.
the kernel to use with your NetBSD version is available at:

ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.4.1/amiga/binary/kernel/netbsd
