As far as I know you have the prepare the USB stick for booting and
copy the files over manually.  Looks like there was an article in the
wiki about it at
http://wiki.netbsd.org/How_to_install_NetBSD_from_an_USB_Memory_Stick,
but the wiki seems to be in limbo.   Googling for "netbsd usb stick"
turned up several hits that look useful, such as this one:
