Hmm, this does not look good---I'm not a specialist but I don't understand how you can see anything at all, the framebuffer address and size are nonexistent. This is where it seems to break down. When you give 'gop list', do you see any other modes? Can you change to any other mode (sth like 'mode X' with X the mode number might work?) and try boot? Do you see the same numbers in FreeBSD and OpenBSD? If yes then we'd need to investigate how Free/OpenBSD fix this. If you can connect your machine to a wired network you can ssh into the machine. You'd need to configure you NIC in /etc/rc.conf (same as in FreeBSD) and note that by default DragonFly ssh configuration does not allow passwds; you need either keys or then change the configuration to allow passwds.
