NetBSD 5.1/i386 won't start on ASUS EeeTOP 1610PT

Hi

NetBSD 5.1 runs fine on an ASUS EeeTOP 1602 touch-screen PC.  Yesterday I got 
hold of a slightly newer model, the EeeTOP 1610PT (1.6 GHz Intel ATOM CPU, 2 GB 
RAM, touchscreen).

The boot loader will load NetBSD and the installer kmod, but when it should 
start the kernel (i.e. the kernel output messages would start), it just hangs.

And ideas how such a "NetBSD won't start at all" problem could possibly be 
debugged?  The machine has no real serial port, only USB.
