I never got that far, but the utility shell from sysinst reports
NetBSD  11.0_RC3 (GENERIC) #0: Sat Apr  4 06:08:56 UTC 2026  mkrepro@mkrepro.NetBSD.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC amd64
That is the installer kernel, though, not the installed kernel from the final machine.
>Description:
I'm trying to install a VM on top of Proxmox from the 11.0_RC3/amd64 ISO. I have the blank VM boot from the ISO, which takes me into sysinst. I partition the drives, and ask for a full (or full-no-X11) installation, and tell sysinst to use the ISO for the installation sets.

After installing the sets kern-GENERIC, modules, and base, sysinst reports 

  Release set base32 does not exist. [Hit enter to continue]

So either sysinst incorrectly believes it needs that set, or the set needs to be provisioned on the ISO.

... unless I'm missing something obvious.

Thanks for all good work!

 Skipping the set is safe, but if you need base32 you should use
 the dvd ISO (new in 11.0). The base32 set is excluded from the
 cd-rom because the cd-rom has to fit under 700mb.

 ACK! I understand. Thanks!

 Log Message:
 Hack for PR 60224 or PR 60133:
 add a specific message when a compat (base32 or base64) set
 or a debug (or compat debug) set is not found.
 Point at the CD vs. DVD images.

 Still not an ideal UI, but reworking this properly is not going
 to happen before 11.0, and this is intended as a stopgap fix that
 should be pulled up.
