Hi!
I had the same problem a few weeks ago!
The solution was intall NetBSD 1.4 alpha! Use the hdtape??.fs boot file!
with it you can either boot from a tape, a hd or else.
An advice... get a VT terminal... you are not able to use the system console
during the install, so you must get something like that and plug it on the
backside serial port!
hope that this info will help you.
Pedro
