I don't know offhand.  You could try to extract netbsd from the
floppy image set with

	dd if=boot1.fs of=part1 skip=16
	dd if=boot2.fs of=part2 skip=16
	cat part1 part2 > boot.tar
	tar xvf boot.tar netbsd

and do e.g. "file" on it.  It should be a gzipped a.out
executable.

Another thing to check is that your bootblocks are at a minimum
version 2.5 -- that's needed for ustarfs boot support.

Other than that I'm not sure, and it's now a while since I built
and tested the boot floppies the last time.
