Lieven,

I'd probably be more inclined to use the iso image at 
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/iso/1.6/alphacd.iso. (a little=
 over 80MB)

I used this for 1.5 on my 3000/400 and it worked well. I don't=
 think the 
cdhdtape image (2.6MB) has a full install binary set with it.=
 Give that a 
go and tell us how you went. You should be able to write this=
 from any 
Windoze PC program that supports burning from an iso image.
