This all looks fine.

I downloded NetBSD-8.0-i386-install.img.gz, verified the SHA512,
wrote it to a USB stick using the above command, and it booted
successfully on a real 32-bit PC (modulo PR 53192).  It also boots
successfully with

  qemu-system-i386 -snapshot -hda NetBSD-8.0-i386-install.img 

modulo some minor confusion about the root device which should be
fixed in -current.
