9.99.26 now indeed goes through the installation in GPT/EFI without
any problems. The only wiggle - at least when booting under VirtualBox
6.1 - was it did not boot from the bootx64.efi by default; I had to
manually select the file from the 'Manage Boot Environments'
interface.

Hello, there are problems with bootarm.efi also. The snapshot is
from yesterday. The kernel doesn't boot also with old bootarm.efi
or directly booting the ub version, I reported that to port-arm.

I did install 9.0_RC1 on a bare metal machine accepting all the
defaults, and it boots fine with UEFI.

That sounds like a regression in bootx64.efi, checking

Just to confirm the same. I still have a NetBSD EFI VirttualBox guest
working just fine, built around 9.99.10 or thereabouts, perhaps
following the manual installation procedure mentioned above. Upon
