Thanks David and Mark, yes it was the ACPI issue. I started netbsd as 
follows with the -no-acpi option and it showed ne2 interface during the 
bootup message.

It seems to stop after displaying "root file system type: ffs". To
 me it seems to be a KQEMU issue. OpenBSD 4.x also gives PID(1) Signal 
11 when KQEMU is loaded. I will retry after unloading KQEMU and get back.
