Martin, thanks for the reply and suggestions. I went to the latest 9.0
Stable download and got the latest boot.iso. Then I went to
/usr/pkgsrc/sysutils/dvd+rw-tools and made an install. I used growisofs to
burn a dvd, here on this NetBSD install on the older 2014 HP Pavilion. Then
I took the dvd to the newer homemade machine. I booted the dvd and started
the install. I got to the selection of the drive to use and I selected ld0
which is my m2 ssd. I had created a gpt partition table with Gparted on a
thumbdrive, but left the drive unallocated or unformatted. Next I picked
the default partition, hit enter, it starts to work, but then the error
message above appears and the install stops. The disk previously had this
week's FreeBSD 13 current snapshot that I cleared with Gparted and placed a
new gpt partition table on the ssd.
I can reload FreeBSD and send you a dmesg, but that may be tomorrow. Thanks,
Clay
