NetBSD release include ISO images. The NetBSD-i386 3.1 ISO is available here:

	ftp://ftp.uk.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/iso/3.1/i386cd-3.1.iso

The prefered method for downloading is however via BitTorrent.
The ".torrent" file is available here:

	ftp://ftp.uk.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/iso/3.1/i386cd-3.1.iso.torrent

If you want to great a NetBSD 4.0_BETA2 ISO image you can do it like this
(under NetBSD, Linux or Mac OS X after installing "wget" and "mkisofs"):

mkdir netbsd
cd netbsd
wget -r ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-4/200702270002Z/i386/
wget -r ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-4/200702270002Z/source/
cd ..
mkisofs -J -r -V "NetBSD 4.0_BETA2" -b i386/installation/floppy/boot-big.fs -o netbsd.iso netbsd

You can after create a CD-ROM with "cdrecord netbsd.iso" (NetBSD or Linux)
or "hdiutil burn netbsd.iso" (Mac OS X).

	Kind regards
