you may find it worthwhile to read http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/i386/faq.html 
for some faq's on installing NetBSD.  also, check out 
ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.5.3/i386/INSTALL.txt (note: change 
NetBSD-1.5.3 to whatever distribution you're installing) specifically, read 
the sections under "Installing the NetBSD System."  this should give you a 
head start.

feel free to ask more specific questions if something's not clear
