It's on the main page now, but this is often done intentionally for many OS distributions: finish a release, allow for some time so that mirror sites can grab the ISO's, and only *then* announce it widely (followed by a spike in download activity).
Shit... the Sinclair ZX81 I repaired last week, isn't on the list of supported platforms ;-)

It's not exactly NetBSD, but there are some *NIX type systems for the Z80, like UZI: http://www.dougbraun.com/uzi.html
You'll need to add a few RAM packs to a ZX81 first though.
