 This is in the boot menu, before you see any green kernel boot messages?
 
 Which image did you use? There are two. On most machines
 
  	NetBSD-10.0-amd64-install.img.gz
 
 works fine, but on some BIOS/UEFI versions you have to use
 
 	NetBSD-10.0-amd64-bios-install.img.gz
 
 instead. The reason is some firmware bug (or incompatibility in our UEFI
 boot loader, we do no know for sure). Sometimes a BIOS/UEFI update of the
 machine helps (and then both images work).
