So, the stick works. I got this far. But during the install, the console actual has a flood of messages every second or so as it reports the unplugging and plugging oh a few USB devices, the ELAN touchscreen amongst them (it's internal, and I guess needs some magic, so it keeps soft unplugging itself?). Makes the install menus very difficult to read and the preamble scrolls off. I did get an install, I think. But now it seems stuck at the memory test when installing from the harddrive. Hmm.

@drj@typo.social Some mouse/touch devices constantly reattach in order to get Windows to open the "install a driver" popup. I am not making this up. There is a fix to make the kernel console shut up while the installer is running, but it didn't make it into the 11.0 release. It's in the stable branch, though. https://nycdn.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-11/latest/images/
