You're right - looks like several of the images listed
on the NetBSD website do not in fact exist.  That's
rather unfortunate.

I created a bug report for that:

(That's something you can do as well and should get in
the habit of doing: if something's broken, let people
know.  Not saying you should have done that here, but
just noting that this is a good habit to develop.)
