(sorry a late response)
bootxx on newsmips loads a secondary boot at 0x70000 for larger kernels,
so you have to have at least 8MB memory to boot NetBSD/newsmips.
(well, we should note it somewhere)

Hmm, news3200 should just work if you use serial console.
At least there are some reports of NWS-3260:
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-newsmips/2002/09/30/0002.html

Note 4.0 floppies work fine on NWS-3470D, so there might be
something wrong on checking models.
