This didn't work for me. This email got me finally to the right point:
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-i386/2002/10/29/0016.html
I've set console=pc for the bootloader but i had to put this into my 
kernconf (of course with com enabled in the bios and added to the kernconf):
options         CONSDEVNAME="\"com\"",CONADDR=0x3f8,CONSPEED=9600
options         CONS_OVERRIDE

Now it is booting nicely without keyboard and vga.
