As quoted from ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/iso/2.0/README
"2 iso's have multiple arch's on them and can boot as directed above for 
specific
ports:

multi-cd1.iso - i386 macppc sparc sparc64
multi-cd2.iso - alpha amiga mac68k next68k cobalt hpcmips pmax vax"

No amd64. And I tried the iso and it didn't boot. That's why I made my 
own. It was TNF's decision not to make it bootable and the iso on the 
FTP server seems not updated sinds December 6th so it would be weird 
that it boots for you? Anyhow, I've seen more users not having it boot, 
but if it boots for you, TNF should look into it I guess :)

Take care!
