SOLVED

Thank you! Now I have proceeded in installing NetBSD ver. 7.1.1. It's connected with Internet Smilie

I also know that the next step is by editing the files .profile and .shrc. But there is already the version 8 available so I downloaded
NetBSD64boot.iso and NetBSD-8.0-i386-install.img.gz. I have a really old IBM NetVista pc and it will suit well for terminal work.
So I need some usb-dongle and
cp in=NetBSD-8.0-i386-install.img out=/dev/....
As much as I remember it must in Linux be like /dev/sdc in a computer with two hard disks but where then
