In URL format:
ftp://sun-lamp.cs.berkeley.edu/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.0
ftp://ftp.iastate.edu/pub/netbsd/NetBSD-1.0
ftp://ftp.eecs.umich.edu/BSD/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.0 (I think)

NetBSD runs on several motorola platforms, but as you didn't mention
what you had, I can't tell you if it will work or not.
Basically: sun3(beta), mac, amiga, hp300, I think thats it.
