No, but I think you can dd(1) a boot-big.fs to /dev/wd0b and then at the
bootloader (5 second countdown etc.) say "boot hd0b:".
Maybe make sure you have swap off or write the floppy in singleuser
mode:
netbsd1# shutdown now
...
# cd /root
===> # cat <boot-big.fs >/dev/wd0b
# reboot
Dec 9 23:35:45 reboot: rebooted by root
unmounting file systems... done
rebooting...
