Re: port-amd64/58939: NetBSD 10.1 bootx64.efi is freezing on HP 245 G6 Notebook

    Hi, re your questions:
    * USB EFI Installer boots OK
    * Installation on another USB stick needs bootx64.efi 9.4 to work.
    10.0 and 10.1 both did not work
    * Have not tried EFI on laptop's magnetic storage
    * Legacy boot (10.1) on laptop's magnetic storage all OK
