IIRC, I had similar issues with going from 6.x to 7.x; in my /etc/boot.cfg
I had to change the entries along the lines of

menu=Boot normally:rndseed /var/db/entropy-file;vesa 1024x768x8;boot netbsd
menu=Drop to boot prompt:vesa 1024x768x8;prompt

Alternately, "vesa on" supposedly works, but I never got that to work
consistently.
