Basically, I'm lost with the debugger, and the best I can do is type "reboot".

Is there any documentation?

But I don't think the debugger could really help me.

I remember in the boot process getting past athn0, so that was detected 
apparently satisfactorily.

I have packages built for amd64 but nothing that survives for NetBSD-current 
i386, and I don't want to restart from scratch building packages for amd64.

I remember building modular-xorg from pkgsrc, but startx failed on inability to 
find display.  This also happens with OpenBSD 5.4 Live USB from 
liveusb-openbsd.sourceforge.net
which was supposed to have been already configured and ready to go.

There needs to be a way to single-step through the boot process; otherwise, 
boot messages whiz past too fast to be readable, and I still don't know any way 
to capture these messages to a file when boot falls short.
