OK I installed minicom and changed the baud rate to 9600 and remove
the hardware flow control so no hardware or software flow

screen the soekris cannot read the USB stick after and tried using
minicom for the job unfortunately with the same result -> blank screen
with a cursor in the top left corner.
I am not sure if I should try amd64... the CPU is 32 bits not 64...
I tried to do more or less what you are doing, and I found that a USB
stick was either flaky or did not work and when I used an actual disk
and an older USB/umass/IDE adaptor, it worked reliably.
As for i386/amd64: the cpu is either, but soekris supports the box as
i386 only. People say that amd64 works too. I'm running mine i386.
I solved my problem... I had to put the image on the USB stick drop to
boot prompt and run 'consdev com0' not com1 as I was doing, because of
the PDF manual for the board... oh well I wanted to learn something I
have already :). I am staring at the install screen now. I even had a
prompt to choose the type of terminal really handy stuff..
Thanks for NetBSD!
