I repeated the experiment, only using this command:

$ sudo dd if=NetBSD-9.99.88-amd64-install.img of=/dev/rsd0 bs=1m

...and had no success.

I'm following, more or less, this wiki page:

https://wiki.netbsd.org/tutorials/how_to_install_netbsd_from_an_usb_memory_stick/

Yes, it is rather dated, but I wonder if I should follow what 
the page refers to as a "manual method," i.e. one which goes 
through fdisk and all the other steps needed to produce a 
usable ffs filesystem on the stick?

Thank you
