My 64 GB SD card doesn't dd(1) well to the 16GB eMMC.

Is there any documentation on how to manually set up an installation? I 
guess sysinst(8) isn't there, yet, and INSTALL examples are stuck at 
NetBSD 1.5.

Let me point again at

ehci1: missed microframe, TT reset not implemented, hub might be 
inoperational
<http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-arm/2019/01/10/msg005377.html>

and the issue with *.dtd files and kernel configurations
<http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-arm/2019/01/10/msg005378.html>.

Also, newer (Oracle) Berkeley DB packages fail in configure, see PR 
pkg/53900. Can't have mail/mutt that way.
