I set vesa 0x118 mode in boot prompt and I saw the boot process was change visiblity to new mode but still errored me (EE) No Device detected.

BTW, I didn't use current version.

Is that I must use current version for vesa?

How i can try booting from vesa framebuffer?

Which NetBSD image produce with vesa framebuffer defaultly?

Thanks for your attention.

From the boot prompt.  Try a "man boot" to see the commands.  One of the
commands is "vesa" and you can do "vesa list" to see which modes are
available.
