 Looks like the iso wasn't written completely to your CD. Try the above
 command without the count parameter:
 
 dd if=/ftproot/pub/NetBSD/iso/4.0/i386cd-4.0.iso bs=2048 count=123641 | cksum 
-a sha512
 123641+0 records in
 123641+0 records out
 253216768 bytes transferred in 4.452 secs (56877081 bytes/sec)

 dd if=/ftproot/pub/NetBSD/iso/4.0/i386cd-4.0.iso bs=2048 | cksum -a sha512
