One immediate workaround would be to use the legacy bios USB boot image to do the update: https://nycdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-9/latest/images/NetBSD-9.3_STABLE-amd64-bios-install.img.gz
this was a good idea... I installed it (well, a couple of days ago, took some time to test before writing this email( and it worked right out, the laptop is saved. Boot blocks updated too.
I upgraded all pkgsrc from source, that took some compiling and worked being stable. X11, ethernet, wifi seem to work.
Well WiFi has the same issues it had when working with Christos on it - needs some kick to come up, gives some errors. Suspend-to-RAM is also flakey with X11. Buit I will report on issues separately.
