 What OS are you running?
 On Linux you just need to
 
 gunzip NetBSD-8.0-amd64-install.img.gz
 
 then
 
 sudo dd if=3DNetBSD-8.0-amd64-install.img of=3D/dev/sdX bs=3D1M
 
 where X is your usb stick.
 
 Note that if you have an EFI system you need the UEFI install image. Also
 note that there are different images for DVD and usb.
 
 Good luck

 Wanting to try NetBSD(on an AMD64 PC), I tried to install in various ways b=

 When I use the USB intallation version, the file is not recognized as a pos=

 Unetbootin, Etcher, Rufus and Easy USB-creatoe Lite. None of them would eve=

 <br>
 Then I tried burning it to a DVD with FreeISOburner, at least the burning w=
 ent fine. But when I booted, only a black screen appeared and it stayed tha=

 What can I do to at least install NetBsd?<br>
