We already have compressed images suitable to turn
into AMIs for arm64
(https://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-10.0/evbarm-aarch64/binary/gzimg/),
but not for amd64.  I just put together a script and
instructions for how to build an amd64 image that can
then be turned into an AMI using bsdec2-upload-image:

Instructions:
https://www.netmeister.org/blog/netbsd-amd64-ami.html

Script:
https://github.com/jschauma/netbsd-amis/blob/main/build-amd64

Hopefully this is useful to somebody else who is
interested in building NetBSD AMIs.  If you like, you
can also run an instance (e.g., type t2) using
ami-0999f80a08a9de4cc (us-east-1).

If you run into problems, please let me know.
