So are you trying to install NetBSD as an Antlet or trying to install to the 
bare metal?  In my installs I totally wiped out AntOS and installed to bare 
metal.  If you’re installing to bare metal have you tried installing to each of 
the SSDs?  AntOS makes the two SSDs look like a single disk using ZFS, but if 
you install over the top of AntOS then you’ll have two disks and can choose 
either one to install to.

BTW, I found Antsle support to be pretty much useless.  They wouldn’t give me 
any details on almost anything.  They really don’t want their customers opening 
the box, installing their own upgrades or removing AntOS from the box.  They’d 
like to keep you boxed into just using the system the way they intended which 
is to run everything under AntOS and have them do any HW upgrades for you.
