 Do you read the install notes?  It describes everything you confused:
 
 >> Fetch files needed to install NetBSD.
 >> 
 >> Option 1: bootable CD-ROM images or USB memstick images containing
 >> the full distribution.
 >> 
 >> These can be found on an FTP site near you, usually located in the
 >> /pub/NetBSD/iso/ directory. Check the list of NetBSD mirrors at
 >> http://www.NetBSD.org/mirrors for details.
 >> 
 >> Option 2: bootable CD-ROM images from i386/installation/cdrom/.
 >> 
 >> These images are bootable, but do not contain binary sets.
 >> They are intended for network installs or system repair.
 >> boot.iso is for VGA console installation, and boot-com.iso
 >> is for installation over serial console (com0, 9600 baud).
 
 I'm afraid we don't have enough man power to reorganize
 directory (and src/distrib) structures of release binaries
 for users who won't read proper documents..
