I submitted a patch that adds multiboot module support to NetBSD/i386.
It's in PR #42640. A short description is given in the PR, and an
overview of the behavior is in my previous email in this thread.

The patch has been tested with netbsd-5 (loading the miniroot.kmod
containing the installer) and -current (loading ffs.kmod so that the
kernel mounts the root filesystem).
Best regards,
