 It is reproducible on Biostar Viotech 3100+ with VIA C7-D CPU on the
 install image. Same install kernel does boot on the installed system.
 As another workaround, reducing ACPI version to v2 (from v3) in the
 BIOS also makes system boot from the install image. The issue seems to
 be introduced between before NetBSD 7, since NetBSD 6.x releases still
 boot.  Will try to investigate a bit if I can find something.
