 Installed NetBSD succesfully with boot -2
 Wireless working. Ssh working. Everyting seems smooth now.
 
 Added boot -2 at /boot.cfg menu (if not, ACPI on again leads to plenty 
 of errors)
 
 netbsd-compal# cat /boot.cfg
 menu=Boot normally:rndseed /var/db/entropy-file;boot -2
 menu=Boot single user:rndseed /var/db/entropy-file;boot -s2
 menu=Drop to boot prompt:prompt
 default=1
 timeout=5
 clear=1
 
 Thanks.
 Regards.
