Pretty nice, eh?  Might want to write the maintainer and thank him :-)

The ite is the internal console driver.  It handles taking input from the
keyboard and displaying it on the screen, as well as scrolling text that's
on the screen and other such good stuff like that.  Fortunately, it pretty
much works whether it manages to match or not (I can't remember what's
failing, it's either ite_match() or ite_attach(), but that doesn't matter
for this).  The message above is most likely an indicator that we're not
correctly mapping the right part of memory (or so I seem to recall ;-)

One problem you might encounter is that your monitor appears to be in
16-bit mode.  Things might work a bit better if you boot in 1-bit mode.
Other than that, if you managed to boot to the point where it asked for a
root device, then you should be good to go.  Just install the binaries and
start having fun running NetBSD!

Good luck.
