Ok, what graphics adapter do You run in that box? NetBSD supports only
8 bit adapters, and booting it on a box with any of the 24 bit
adapters, say, the ZX (leo) leads to similar messages.
I remember having seen something similar when i put a ZX into my SS2
netbsd box.
Solaris 2.5, 2.6 and Linux Kernels should boot fine on such boxes.
