For my own CI builds, I'm cross-building NetBSD from Linux for all port/cpus and use that generated amd64 install ISO to do an autoated installation into Qemu (simple `expect` script.) I use that generated image as a r/o image with a writeable overlay (all plain Qemu functionality) to have "throw-away" instances (different only by MAC address) that I can easily start and end to do CI builds within a NetBSD environment.
