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?

I find both 2NT and the final Pass by you as normal actions. Your partner
probably has 6-4 majors and is probing for a 4-4 heart fit, and when that
didn't materialize, he placed the contract. His bidding shows no slam
interest and I don't think opener should have any slam interest with the
given hand.
