John McNeill appears to have:
https://www.armbsd.org/arm/
for "NetBSD Arm Bootable Images".
It has 32 NetBSD 9 images and 33 NetBSD -current images.
One is called: Generic 64-bit
for each. NetBSD -current has:
Build: 202005232000Z
(so yesterday's build) and NetBSD 9 has:
Build: 202005222300Z
(so the day before yesterday).
Might one or both of those be appropriate?
