Synopsis: v8.1 nor v8.1_rc1 panics on a Dell Precision 390 (AMD64)

State-Changed-From-To: open->feedback
State-Changed-By: maya%NetBSD.org@localhost
State-Changed-When: Wed, 23 Oct 2019 00:00:11 +0000
State-Changed-Why:
Requesting information about graphics setup.
This error message fits a scenario where netbsd things it supports the graphics driver, but it does not.
NetBSD does not properly handle the fallback in this case.
Another option is to forcefully disable the driver that is misbehaving.
Dropping to the boot prompt in the boot menu and typing:
userconf disable i915drmkms*
userconf disable radeon*
userconf disable nouveau*
boot

Should avoid the problem, too.
