Hello there, Still wonder if I should try the NetBSD/amd64. The only reason to install a 32-bit OS on an otherwise 64-bit capable hardware would be, if the system-ram is 2GB or less. Otherwise, you'd waste resources and CPU-capabilities. The 64-bit mode comes with a couple registers unavaible

Actually the B590 comes with 2GB RAM, its the cheapo-edition. But my demands are not high, most ressources go for Firefox with Javascript or some movie player like xine. I hope just 2GB doesnt slow down the amd64 or get it stuck. Did you try such combination, Volkmar? Well, RAM isn't

from John Nemeth jnem...@cue.bc.ca: Released versions of NetBSD have okay support for GPT. -current has much better support for GPT. The intention is to backport the improvements after they are complete. Currently, NetBSD can boot with a GPT in CSM mode, but not full UEFI mode.
