> I'm waiting for final 2.1 release
At the end of October 3.0 will be released, so if you are going to do a brand new install I'd wait for it.
For testing you can test 3_BETA here:

I think, I could be wrong, that 2.1 is an evolution of 2.0.
Those many versions are making me some confusion, though.

Oh, come on, it's not that difficult.
netbsd-2 branch -> netbsd-2-0 branch (at 2.0 release)
-> (upcoming) netbsd-2-1 branch (at 2.1 release)
netbsd-3 branch -> (upcoming) netbsd-3-0 branch (at 3.0 release)
I mean, compared to the version scheme of Linux or even FreeBSD...

No, there is no panic in NetBSD at all 
.
All they did was to fix some things to improve the progress. For example: you can build a NetBSD-Release for your Sun-Workstation (wich has a sparc CPU) on your common Debian-PC (wich is x86 CPU).
Try that with any other OS .
Also NetBSD has very clean code, it's easy to create new functions compared with many other projects.
BTW, i run NetBSD 3 on my Servers for 5 Month now. It has a lot more to offer and i am very satisfied. However, it's marked as beta.

I can't find the iso image, is there? It seems they only provide floppy images (hmm, I don't have a floppy drive! 
).
Assuming you're talking about i386, you can generate an iso (with our without install sets) with boot-big.fs as bootable part, using "mkisofs -b boot-big.fs ..." (that's how the official iso's are created too).
