 IMHO that will be even more confusing... Either have a simple README.txt
 in
 ftp://ftp2.jp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-6.1.2/amd64/installation/cdrom/
 explaining what the respective files are, 
 
 OR 
 
 remove one of the two links under:
 http://www.netbsd.org/releases/index.html#formal
 heading: "Downloading NetBSD 6.1.2" so that the user doesn't have to
 chose between unknowns, 
 
 OR
 
 remove the cdrom/ directory from
 ftp://ftp2.jp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-6.1.2/amd64/installation/
 and provide it with a separate browse path from www so that one gets to
 the right install medium.
 
 Those are my retrospective thoughts.
 
 Many Thanks!
