  You may try to use the INSTALL_FLOPPY kernel and later run the GENERIC2 kernel
  which still have support for older hardware.

It would be LEGACY not GENERIC2.

By the way, why don't we revive vga@isa and pcdisplay for INSTALL kernel?
If I understand kern/49290 correctly, it does not cause any problems for
INSTALL, where DRMKMS drivers are disabled (*).

(*) For -current and netbsd-8, only nouveau is enabled for INSTALL. It
seems to be forgotten to be disabled, when it is added to GENERIC. We
should probably disable it (also for amd64).
