 Hi Martin,
 
 I'm not surprised it works inside a VM, I guess it has to do with the 
 firmware of the machine.
 If it were possible to create an USB installation image with added 
 traces in the kernel/drivers/sysinst, I could repeat the installation 
 and provide you with more useful information.
 Or let me know if I can do anything else to help.
 
 Vincent

  I fail to reproduce this.
  
  Starting with:

  and then:
  
   You can now change the sizes for the system partitions.  The default is to
   allocate all the space to the root file system.  However, you may wish to
   have separate /usr (additional system files), /var (log files etc) or /home
   (users' home directories) file systems.
  
   Free space will be added to the partition marked with a '+'.

  This is with -current/HEAD, but I tried netbsd-9 and get the same results
