Re: New minor forcing--a missed slam?

IMPs, vulnerable
I held as dealer: 85, AJ, A864, KQ864

Partner and I bid (no interference):
1C - 1S; 1NT - 2D (new minor forcing)

Here I should rebid 3NT, but thoughtlessly chose 2NT.
Partner jumped to 4S.
What should I do?

What should I do if instead over my 3NT rebid, partner bids 4S?
(partner said in both cases, I should drive to slam, which is cold)

Our jump shifts here (1C - 2S) would be weak.
What kind of hand is partner showing?

Partner could be investigating an alternative game such as in hearts.
He could have a hand which was too good to bid 4S on the second round.
However, partner could have given you a chance to express his hand by
bidding a forcing 3S over 2NT.
So partner told you he wasn't interested in slam so I would just
respect his decision.
