NetBSD 4.0 hasn't been released yet, but a beta version is available from the FTP site and mirrors. Regular builds can be found at:
ftp://ftp.<mirror>.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-4/
Just replace "<mirror>" with a suitable country code (the complete list of mirrors is at http://www.netbsd.org/mirrors/#ftp). Download either an ISO image, or just the boot floppy images if you have a floppy drive and can do a network install. A guide to burning a bootable CD-ROM is at http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/bootcd.html, and the INSTALL files describe in considerable detail how to start the installation procedure.
Although NetBSD 4.0 is still at the beta stage, I am using it on several machines without any problems as are many others.
