 you can find the results at https://suse.uni-leipzig.de/netbsd/
 
 booting without any option, -1 and -2 results in the same problem. 
 "disable usb" has an other problem.
 
 the Dell PowerEdge M710 is a Blade and do not have any disk or floppy 
 device. the installation runs over the DRAC Management Card. It provide a 
 virtual console and a virtual dvd. maybe this device is an usb device so 
 the "disable usb" option is a problem.
 
 
 Thank you for your efforts
