I am not so sure how to do it.
I saw files in ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-8.0/amd64/binary/.

for kernel...
If I understand correctly, I have to fetch ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-8.0/amd64/binary/kernel/netbsd-GENERIC.gz, and then extract it in /.
Am I right?

for modules...
Shall I fetch ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-8.0/amd64/binary/sets/modules.tgz?
But where shall I extract these modules?
You said /, but aren't module sets in /stand/ARCH/X.Y/modules/?

still trouble...
As I can't have it boot for now, how can I extract those files on file system?

Thank you,
