It is inefficient to guess what's on your system -- type "ifconfig -a"
to list all your connected devices.
If you don't notice your ethernet devices there, try typing "dmesg"
and scan your boot messages to see what happened when the machine
booted.

I'm sure it is, but your particular kernel might not. What version of
NetBSD are you running, and what type of kernel?

That only shows your NetBSD disk label.
Try the "fdisk" program to see the MBR partitions.
