This is 7.0.2/i386 on an old HP Compaq d530 (dmesg below).

The machine boots and seems to work just fine,
except if the monitor is not connected - in that case,
the boot sequence ends like this
(lame jpeg, cereal not set up yet, sorry):

  http://stare.cz/dmesg/hp-compaq-d530.201610210724Z.jpg

That's where a successful boot continues with

  intelfb0 at i915drmkms0
  i915drmkms0: info: registered panic notifier
  intelfb0: framebuffer at 0xdb7fc000, size 1920x1080, depth 32, stride 7680
  ...

It does not help to boot without ACPI (blindly pressing 3):

  http://stare.cz/dmesg/hp-compaq-d530.201610210724Z-noacpi.jpg

This behaviour is consistent: when VGA is connected, it boots fine;
when VGA is not connected, the boot fails as above (which I only see
after I connect the monitor again, of course).

If it's really due to the monitor not being connected,

  - is that expected behaviour?
  - if so, can the booting NetBSD be configured
    to _not_ expect a monitor to be connected? 

This is my first install, please excuse me
if am I missing something obvious.

	Jan
