That might be one source of messages being printed.Furthermore, they are only printed to the first console. If you enable more (ttyE[0-3] in /etc/ttys I think, and wscons=YES in /etc/rc.conf), you can login on other consoles that are quiet.
****Thanks so much Johnny & Olaf. The other consoles look promising. Does this relate to the NetBSD Guide Chap 3.9 Disk Prep process for selecting bootblocks?
http://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-exinst.html#exinst-disk-preparation-processI have just been selecting the BIOS console, and maybe I should select one of the serial ports, or option g : Use existing bootblocks ?
I think the console selection is the clue. I will play with this and try a fresh install with one of the serial ports, like com0.
