 Hi,
 
 short update, on hint from martin@, I tried booting with
 console=VGA and turning off the two flat panel screens connected
 to my PC just after pressing enter to the "boot netbsd.new"
 command in the boot loader CLI.
 
 I also waited long enough that the PC would normally have come up
 and configured the network, and it did not become reachable, so
 this is a fairly strong indication that the kernel has crashed.
 
 Annoyingly, this doesn't reproduce when I boot the same kernel
 with console=serial, and since the screen goes blank it's really
 difficult to provide any more precise error message.
 
 Regards,
