You can always make a bootable iso-image on your own as you can cross-compile and cross-build alpha target on a x64 host.

See: https://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-build.html

I have done many times (maybe on a linux host) when Jason worked on the Jensen’s boot problems, so if you make a netbsd source available and have a recent laptop/desktop you can have a fresh iso image in your hands in hours.

As Paul Newman was told : What we have here is a failure to communicate.

However that is not the way I want it!

A fix ... really? Where? How?  Is there a way to implement that and cook
up a release candidate type CDROM image or any other magic? I am so very
much interested and happy to jump on this. Today. Tonight. Tomorrow.

Whatever it takes :)
