is it any better if you try booting a NetBSD-current snapshot?
yes and no... it behaves differently.
I just used the current kernel here
http://nycdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/HEAD/202212142120Z/i386/binary/kernel/
The screen becomes black when fb sould be turned on. This is similar
(but not same) behaviour after applying a patch of Robert Swindell about
correct PCI BAR detection.
The screen is black, the boot does not complete (cannot remotely
log-in), caps-lock does not work, power-off or ctrl-alt-canc neither.
