Here is something weird when I enable Legacy USB Support:

1) There is no timer allowing me to select a menu. It jumps straight to
zero and claims to boot option 1. Crashes in same place.

2) Reboot once more and between BIOS and Netbsd boot menu, I keep
pressing 3 in the hope that the boot menu will take my option from the
keyboard buffer; output reports boot option 1 selected, YET the system
boots. No crash and no evidence of ACPI being checked. So I assume it
skipped ACPI as desired.

So legacy support appears to help solve the problem, BUT has side effects.
