You probably don't need floppy support in order to boot from floppy.  But you 
do need some way to create a new floppy with a proper kernel on it. In 
NetBSD-current there is rumored to be support for floppy.  In 1.3I it is not, 
and as of 02/20/99 sources on ftp.netbsd.org the floppy controller is detected 
but not the floppy.
After you are up, you can use the onboard IDE, at least I do it with 1.3I on 
an axppci33.

BTW:  Where did the last snapshot go?  Only sources left...
