Hmm. Can you patch `/etc/rc' on the USB-installer as before so that it
does:
sysctl -w kern.timecounter.hardware=ichlpcib0 # try, i8254 next
before the installer starts.
If it neither `ichlpcib0' nor `i8254' complete a NETBSD installation
without
errors, then go with `boot -2'. That looks like it does the trick with this
screwy laptop of yours. :)
