Plex86 (and Bochs) fail to boot the NetBSD installation kernels, due
to a panic
bochs: panic, *** io read from vga port 3c3
What is happening is that the NetBSD kernel is probing for isapnp
devices by basically trying to read the configuration information
from all possible isa addresses.
With the patch below, it manages to boot.
