Some things to try if you get a chance:
- booting with acpi disabled (boot -2 from the bootloader)
- booting uniprocessor (boot -1 from the bootloader)
- booting with usb devices disabled (boot -c, then "disable usb"
should do it)
you can find the results at https://suse.uni-leipzig.de/netbsd/booting without any option, -1 and -2 results in the same problem. "disable usb" has an other problem.
the Dell PowerEdge M710 is a Blade and do not have any disk or floppy device. the installation runs over the DRAC Management Card. It provide a virtual console and a virtual dvd. maybe this device is an usb device so the "disable usb" option is a problem.
Thank you for your efforts Regards Uwe
