screenblank is unlikely to do the right thing on wscons displays talking
to VGA screens in NetBSD 1.5.2. Support for the screenblank ioctls
in the vga driver was only added very recently to NetBSD-current.

So, even if we solved your wskbd0 error (which could be done with a
NetBSD-current screenblank with '-i /dev/wskbd' (or some other device),
it's not going to blank a VGA screen for you under NetbSD 1.5.x :-/
