 There are something like 55 errors in those logs. Normally I would've
 said that this HW was broken, but, as Linux runs fine on it, I have
 to say, instead, that your have a _very_ quirky machine.
 
 Can you also show the output of this command (drop into the shell from
 the installer):
 
 $ sysctl kern.timecounters
 
 Then, can you try these and see if they help:
 
 1. In BIOS,
     a. turn on CSM (BIOS) mode (ie. disable UEFI)
     b. turn off any `Fast Boot' setting
 
 If that doesn't help,
 
 2. In the NetBSD bootloader, turn off ACPI: boot -2
 
 You can, of course do both 1. and 2. together; but, try separately first.
