Like your MSI board, it has a newer generation CPU, in this case a Celeron N3450 quad-core (Apollo Lake, Goldmont architecture, slightly older than Kaby Lake). In my case, neither NetBSD 7, 8 or current would boot — always died with a ‘cpu 1: failed to start’ message. After some poking around I found I could boot the machine by turning off SMP (boot -1). It’s running fine now on NetBSD 7 but it does seem as if current generation Intel parts are problematic. I built a new netbsd-8 kernel (with source from about the same time as the binaries I used to install) and the only difference from GENERIC is I enabled PAE in the config. It now runs fine with smp and acpi enabled. No idea why it was so unstable before. Andy
