Hi,

Wanting to try NetBSD(on an AMD64 PC), I tried to install in various ways but none of them seems to work.

When I use the USB intallation version, the file is not recognized as a possible "install file". I tried 4 third-party programs to do this: Unetbootin, Etcher, Rufus and Easy USB-creatoe Lite. None of them would even start to put it on the USB. Then I downloaded the file again, maybe it was corrupt. Same result.

Then I tried burning it to a DVD with FreeISOburner, at least the burning went fine. But when I booted, only a black screen appeared and it stayed that way...

What can I do to at least install NetBsd?

Thanks in advance for any reaction.

Greetings from Belgium!!

PS Meanwhile I am downloading the torrent file, mayb that'll work....but that's going to take about 6 hours....
