Is there a live image of #NetBSD? How can I test if it will work with my hardware before repartitioning the disk?
I found Jibbed NetBSD, but it hasn't been updated since 2015, and https://github.com/tsutsui/netbsd-teokureliveimage, which may work but is likely localized to Japanese

@aburka@hachyderm.io there is one for amd64 USB sticks. https://nycdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-11/20261014183245Z/images/NetBSD-11.0_STABLE-amd64-live.img.gz note that the installer image _is_ an installation of netbsd so it's perfectly acceptable to use it for testing hardware. it has an option to drop into a shell.
