Do you have a serial console attached to the VS3100?
I havn't got NetBSD running on my VS3100 as it crashes every time (I asked
why here before but I never got an answer.... will upgrade to 1.4.2
soon.), but I heard that the Graphics-Interface (GPX or SPX) isn't
supported even as a console-device, so the boot messages (like
countdown) appear on the graphical console, as this is not the kernel, and
the other messages don't.

Just a thought,
