I'm really struggling to get @netbsd@mastodon.sdf.org installed on my ThinkPad T14 laptop. I can't get the install to even start. I've included a photo of what I'm seeing right after I start the install. I know that I'm doing something wrong, but just can't figure out what that might be. So, NetBSD is a bit different than Linux, huh? 😂
Thanks for any help you can give. I didn't seem this issue when installing on the desktop.

@chadmccullough@mastodon.bsd.cafe I believe this is similar to an issue I encountered where I had to change a boot setting in my BIOS. Mine was set to legacy boot and I had to enable uefi boot to get the installer to work. Maybe not the exact same issue as yours, but I think the error message was the same.

@chadmccullough@mastodon.bsd.cafe @netbsd@mastodon.sdf.org That looks like it's not finding the USB device. What generation of T14 is it? Gen 1 was a bit flaky for some things (I've got one here).
