 I am not sure, can be manifestation of the same in different ways.
 60331 mentions completing partitioning, in my case I just click on the
 menu item to list default partitions, and it fails immediately.
 If it is under the hood it is "completing partitioning", it can be
 same/similar issue. I use RC4 image, so hopefully easier to reproduce.
 
 I installed RC4 on nvme device yesterday, partitioning it had no
 issues for me (also selecting default partition sizes didn't cause a
 crash).
 So far I can reproduce it only with USB drives containing NetBSD install im=
 age.
