Aight Day 2 NetBSD 10.0 install
I found the BIOS settings that are best for NetBSD. OS now has no dmesg or shutdown errors. All hardware recognized.

Substitution/Correction
We can finally create an [.line-through]#MS-DOS filesystem via newfs_msdos(8)# ExFAT filesystem with fuse-filesystem -> fuse-fs
pkgin install fuse-exfat
sysctl hw.disknames
usbdevs
lspci
disklabel /dev/sd0
file -s /dev/sd0
// all these steps except for formatting msdos
// https://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-rmmedia.html#using-usb-flash-drives
mkfs.exfat /dev/sd0e
mount.exfat /dev/sd0e /mnt
[NOTE] The method above is transportable in the BSD/Linux world but is not readable in Windows or Mac. As well, I could not get native toolset utilities of MacOS or Windows formatted exFAT disks to be recognized in NetBSD with the default tools or fuse-fs average tinkering.
