Ok! In my case, the filesystem is automatically mounted in /mnt, so no parameter is necessary for this. I've tried your example with the stock ISO image for sparc64: http://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/images/8.0/NetBSD-8.0-sparc64.iso > Device: cd0a File system: cd9660 > Base directory: / > The other two should be pre-populated with working defaults They refer (at least in my case) always to an hypothetical amd64 image (but they have leading `/' and so, even for an amd64 ISO, it could be not the best, for the reasons I'll write below).

Yes, and thank you. Because of the odd triple `/', I tried also with these options: Device: cd0a File system: cd9660 Base directory: sparc64 Binary set directory: sparc64/binary/sets This way, the installer looks for: /mnt/sparc64/binary/sets/base.tgz It looks prettier and I hope it would also be a correct alternative. It seems that the installer looks for: /<default_mount_directory>/<Base directory>/<Binary set directory>/<installation_set.tgz> where all the `/' are automatically inserted. What about the `Source set directories'? I didn't find it nor in the sparc64, neither in the amd64 ISO. In this case, the installer (obviously, when you selected some source set to be installed in a Custom installation) looks for /<default_mount_directory>/<Base directory>/<Source set directory>/<source_set.tgz> Bye and thank you!
