Edit: most unusual: one of my Debian machines was locked frozen too.
hi KC9UDX, welcome to netbsd pinebooking :-)
i've never tried using sysinst on my pine64 systems. i've either used the arm64.img which is pre-installed and self-expanding, or manually installed by hand. sorry, i can't help with those questions. the original debian emmc vs. netbsd in sd is some incompatibility with the older uboot shipped not properly understanding the netbsd sd card, but i've heard that the newer manjaro one can boot netbsd in sd. glad you figured out the emmc switch, etc.
what version of netbsd is it? older -current (march/april) was more likely to hang if using the builtin wifi, but it seems to have been fixed now. i had perhaps one hang (but in a month, vs daily), and i haven't seen the checksum errors very much (often not for days). it's possible that running out of swap can hang, though it usually at least is responsive enough to see something is alive. if you have something that calls itself less than 9.99.55 or so, i strongly recommend updating to a newer version.
you can get binary packages from armbsd.org. though i'm not finding the path currently. (you can trust armbsd.com, it is hosted by a netbsd developer, one of the major netbsd arm64 contributors.) ah, i found the netbsd-9 ones here, but i can't find the ones for -current.
