I downloaded the arm64.img.gz again, gunzipped it (same checksum), and
dd'ed it to my USB memstick again, and I still can't mount it on my
laptop nor on my RaspberryPi 2B, both running NetBSD-9.0_RELEASE.

"mount_ffs: /dev/dk1 on /mnt: incorrect super block"

I can mount the EFI (msdos) partition dk0 no problem. I should be able
to do this, shouldn't I?

I normally have ccd=NO in my rc.conf (I like to keep things simple) but
I've tried both ways (with reboot in between). Is there something else
I'm missing?
