 Can you get a dmesg on NetBSD? That will help the people who know this
 stuff better than me.
 
 1. Write a new i386 USB install image.
 
 2. Connect this USB drive to any *BSD system (any OS which can write a
     UFS filesystem).
 
 3. Mount the installer root partition, then apply this patch:
 
 ```
 diff -urN a/etc/rc b/etc/rc
 --- a/etc/rc	2024-01-01 14:04:52.000000000 +0000

 +# turn-off key autorepeat (boot with USB KB attached)
 +wsconsctl -w repeat.del1=0
 +
   # done, move on to multiuser mode
   exit 0
 ```
 
 4. Unmount USB installer root, then boot it on the i386 laptop.
     Make sure the USB wireless KB is connected before powering on so that
     autorepeat can be turned off on it.
 
     See if you're able to install NetBSD.
 
 5. The dmesg output will be left in: /var/tmp/dmesg.NNN.txt on the install
     disk. Post it.
