You want NetBSD 3.0, see the INSTALL instructions here:

  ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-3.0/shark/INSTALL.html

Depending on the drives your shark has (mine has only a hard disk, no
CD drive) you can use various bootstrap methods.

I found the easiest to boot the netbsd-INSTALL kernel via tftp. The shark
does dhcp, and the tftp setup is pretty easy; IIRC you can directly boot the
kernel, no bootloader needed.
