You need a directory named NetBSD-1.3.2 at the root of your CD.
This is a copy of ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.3.2,
You can remove the archs you don't need.
I used mkisofs to create the cd9660+RR image. You can also give the path
of the boot floppy image (boot.fs) to mkisofs, so that you will have a bootable
CD.
