 It seems abundantly clear now that somehow your
 upgrade to 10_RC5 managed to install some weird
 mixture of netbsd-9 and netbsd-10.
 
 That explains your df -H problem, as Natt suggested
 (-9 did not have the -H ootion, -10 does), and this
 (-9 does not know argon2id, -10 does)
 
 You really need to install at least the -10 base set
 again, and make sure it all gets properly installed.
