I just booted from the bootable USB image, without making any modifications. All I had to do was to set the appropriate baud rate on the other end (minicom; set to 9600(?)) and it booted up using the serial console. If I recall correctly, the default baud-rate on the combios and in NetBSD was different, so I changed that first (in combios). Difference was I used a slightly older NetBSD, and I used NetBSD/amd64, but I assume these things would be pretty identical. -- Kind Regards, Jan
