I had the wrong img on the stick. I had just slapped a boot.iso on it, like a big dummy. With the (always) very astute aid of the assembled faithful here, I was put right. This is the img I needed, and used to good effect: http://nycdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-9/latest/images/NetBSD-9.0_BETA-amd64-install.img.gz One interesting turn running sysinst: I tried "unmounted fs" to access the flash drive with the install img only to learn that it was already mounted and therefore "busy." I got what I needed selecting "Local fs" at /mnt. Thank You -- What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. Hitchens' Razor
