NetBSD ISO Install
NetBSD ISOs
Installing NetBSD from an ISO, the website is a bit confusing as to what files are what. Use the FTP link above, and download the latest ISO in the naming format of NetBSD-6.0.1-i386.iso
Booting
When booting the ISO, it may say “NetBSD/x86” at the beginning. This is not an indicator that you downloaded that wrong file.
