Right now there are dozens of ways to install NetBSD.

The most simple way is to:

1. format disk
2. label disk
3. newfs disk
4. tar --unlink -zxvpf *.tgz

I would hate to lose the flexibility of installation that NetBSD now
offers.

The idea that I would need "special" software to install NetBSD sounds
like something that Billy Gates would dream up.
