I had the wrong img on the stick. I had just slapped a boot.iso 
on it, like a big dummy. With the (always) very astute aid of 
the assembled faithful here, I was put right. This is the img I 
needed, and used to good effect:

http://nycdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-9/latest/images/NetBSD-9.0_BETA-amd64-install.img.gz

One interesting turn running sysinst: I tried "unmounted 
fs" to access the flash drive with the install img only to learn 
that it was already mounted and therefore "busy." I got what I 
needed selecting "Local fs" at /mnt.

Thank You
