I'm upgrading a box to the NetBSD-release branch (what will be 1.4.1).
As soon as it's done (make build on it should not take more than
3 hours) I'll build a boot floppy image. It *should* be better than the one
in 1.4, but as my install test box is dead I can't test it rigth now.

Are you willing to test it ?
If it doesn't work recovery isn't hard anyway.
