Same goes for today's snapshot from:
https://nycdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/HEAD/202006131940Z/images/NetBSD-9.99.66-amd64-install.img.gz
Also the official NetBSD-9.0/amd64 install image (as downloaded from the
home page link) doesn't even get as far -- the boot loader loads, and
that loads the kernel, and there it hangs, before changing the video mode.
