 Hmm. Can you patch `/etc/rc' on the USB-installer as before so that it does:
 
 sysctl -w kern.timecounter.hardware=ichlpcib0	# try, i8254 next
 
 before the installer starts.
 
 If it neither `ichlpcib0' nor `i8254' complete a NETBSD installation without
 errors, then go with `boot -2'. That looks like it does the trick with this
 screwy laptop of yours. :)
