Thanks for the info, but still no luck.

Maybe I'm not looking in the right place for a -current that I can  
use, but I've been watching releng.netbsd.org for a successful amd64  
build and haven't seen one lately.

I then saw and tried "ftp://ftp-asim.lip6.fr/outgoing/bouyer/amd64/",  
but this installer did not see my disk.

I then changed the BIOS and switched it out of RAID,AHCI mode and the  
installer did see my disk and I started the install process.

Unfortunately I got a few "lost interrupt" messages which apparently  
prevents me from mounting the cd containing the binary sets.

I could not use a network option because setting it up using dhcp or  
manually did not result in a working network connection. Maybe the  
bge/broadcom 5752 is not supported?

So no cd, not ftp, no netbsd.
