 For amd64 the easiest way to try is the USB image, if your machine
 has UEFI firmware:
 
 https://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-8.0/images/NetBSD-8.0-amd64-uefi-install.img.gz
 
 or if it uses BIOS:
 	
 https://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-8.0/images/NetBSD-8.0-amd64-install.img.gz
 
 
 To put it onto install media, you would on a NetBSD or linux machine
 do something like:
 
    gunzip NetBSD-8.0-amd64-install.img.gz
    dd bs=1m if=NetBSD-8.0-amd64-install.img of=/dev/.... 
 
 (I don't know the proper device name on linux, on NetBSD it would likely
 be rsd0d).
 
 Or if you want to download/prepare the USB stick on Windows, you
 could use: https://www.netbsd.org/~martin/rawrite32/
 
 Maybe the DVD you burned is bad? The ISO image works for me.
