p Generally, NetBSD is installed on Arm devices by writing a live image (armv7.img, or arm64.img for 64-bit devices) to a SD card or USB device. For Armv6 Raspberry Pi 1s, this image is rpi.img.gz. The storage device should be at least 2GB.
p If you're on Windows rather than a Unix variant, you can use .Lk https://www.netbsd.org/~martin/rawrite32/index.html rawrite32 instead of .Xr dd 1 to write images, and .Lk https://www.7-zip.org/ 7-Zip to decompress .gz files.
p Arm devices generally also ship with a vendor-specific U-Boot bootloader, which may be replaced with a board-specific "mainline" U-Boot image from pkgsrc for an optimal NetBSD experience.
