IIRC, NetBSD 3 did hang just after the kernel reported RAIDframe stuff.  I
believe this is where it would report hard drives it found.

Following M. Bouyer's instructions, i was able to get the machine to boot
and install via the serial console.

I escaped to the bootloader(?) menu and did:

consdev com0

boot -c

disable ehci
quit

 Below is dmesg from the boot off of the NetBSD-4.0BETA2 CD-ROM, circa ~
 05June07

 Installation worked fine.

 I had to disable ehci to get the machine to boot from the fixed
disk. When i did no disable ehci, it hung right after repotr the DVD
devices. But it did come up all the way to the login prompt after i booted
without ehci.  Unfortunately, the USB keyboard did not work at all.
