 Is this when booting the installer (from USB stick) or booting an
 installation from the internal storage?  If the former, this sounds
 a bit similar to https://gnats.netbsd.org/57840 .

 Does booting in "legacy mode" work for you?  Interesting that 9.4
 works.  Somebody with hardware where this happened should bisect to
 figure out at what commit between the branch points for netbsd-9 and
 netbsd-10 this started breaking (or between netbsd-10 and 10.1
 release).

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