 The combined netbsd-11 fix works completely for me.
 
 Test system:
   Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Plus Rev 1.4
   USB-only boot, no SD card
   Samsung USB flash drive 04e8:6300
 
 Kernel:
   NetBSD 11.0_STABLE (GENERIC64) #0
   Wed Aug 19 11:51:58 UTC 2026
 
 Results:
   - uhub1 and uhub2 attach
   - umass0 and sd0 attach
   - sd0a mounts as root
   - normal filesystem writes succeed
   - the system reaches multiuser
   - automatic MBR/disklabel/FFS expansion succeeds
   - the system reboots and comes back normally
   - no BBB reset, timeout, or disk-write errors occur
 
 After expansion:
 
   /dev/sd0a  61551416  1601408  56872440  3%  /
 
 This fixes the USB-only boot problem for my RPi 3B+.
 The PR can be closed from my perspective.
