   I just booted from the bootable USB image, without making any
modifications. All I had to do was to set the appropriate baud rate on
the other end (minicom; set to 9600(?)) and it booted up using the
serial console. If I recall correctly, the default baud-rate on the
combios and in NetBSD was different, so I changed that first (in combios).

   Difference was I used a slightly older NetBSD, and I used
NetBSD/amd64, but I assume these things would be pretty identical.
