a different card. It might be an incompatibility issue with the driver.
You have to take the fileset tarballs and run them through the split(1)
command on an existing NetBSD box, and then write them to DOS floppies.
The instructions are in the install docs. I guarantee you won't like
it. We're talking about dozens, if not hundreds, of floppies.

Which network
card? It's very possible that the INSTALL_TINY kernel is
It's a PCMCIA ne2000 compatible NIC made by Accton. It gets
recognized by all (boot, bootlap, and boot-tiny) sets of floppies as
either ne0 or ne2. I asume there is support for it on all the
kernels, then. Basically, it
just involves doing everything sysinst does, but manually,
while skipping any steps which aren't completely necessary and use too
much RAM.
I see. I'm trying to find a set of floppies to install from then,
since my laptop doesn't have a CD drive and I have no success with the
network installation. Do you know whether they exist at all?
