Thanks Ottavio & Martin for the info. I had some reading to do, and then
today I managed to install NetBSD-9.0_RC1 on my new machine. It went well,
but not before several trys. What worked for me was the USB image named
~amd64-UEFI-install.img But installed on a MBR disk partition table on an
M2 ssd drive. Whatever works;-)
I had first set the M2 drive to a GPT partiton table, but it failed to
install that way. I still need to set up a desktop X11 window, but
otherwise to works fine.

What is the difference between the boot.iso file and the boot-com.iso

"These images are bootable, but do not contain binary sets. They are
intended for network installs or system repair. boot.iso is for VGA
console installation, and boot-com.iso is for installation over serial
console (com0, 9600 baud)."
