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?
