I've overlooked the directory "images". When I opened .../HEAD/201505041130Z I saw "amd64" and searched there for the image. Thank you for the correct link! Carsten

> On most machines it works to just dd the .iso to the usb stick. Unfortunately it does not work on my machine. It does recognize the USB stick as a floppy disk, then fails to boot it. So again--could a boot.img could be provided e.g. for some mainstream ports like amd64? Or a conversion script? Carsten

USB stick image for snapshots
Hello, on ftp://nyftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily ISO images of snapshots (e.g. named boot.iso) can be found. Would it be possible to also add something like boot.img which can be copied to a USB stick? If one often installs new snaphots on "bare metal" it is more comfortable to use a USB stick than burning a CD every time. Or is there a script which converts the ISO image to a USB image? I did follow the instructions on https://wiki.netbsd.org/tutorials/how_to_install_netbsd_from_an_usb_memory_stick/ but it didn't work. E.g. there is no file named netbsd-INSTALL.gz and no directory named sets on the CD image. Carsten
