I have seen this same behavior as well, and like you it occurs when using a SanDisk Cruzer (Glide in my case) as the boot device. Documented in this thread: https://mail-index.netbsd.org/current-users/2024/03/16/msg045078.html This is a new issue with NetBSD-10 and -current as NetBSD-9 and earlier did not have issues with the SanDisk USB devices. A USB stick by PNY does not exhibit this behavior when used as boot media and the SanDisk device does not exhibit problems when used as ordinary storage (i.e. not a boot device). Did you try USB sticks by other manufacturers or just another SanDisk?
Indeed - that was a very helpful hint! I only tested yesterday with SanDisk memory sticks because I have the most of them. I searched again today and tried an old Intenso stick. The problem doesn't occur with that. My acute problem is solved for now, but I will try to recreate it with the SanDisk and try the debugging suggested by Martin.
Best regards Matthias
