I decided to update to NetBSD 11.0 and try my luck, but the behaviour 
remains. nouveau doesn't load, but doesn't lock the machine either. This 
is a regression compared to 9.x series, unfortunately.
If I disable nouveau, I get no console, X11 comes up and there is no 
acceleration. So the rest seems still fine.

Any way to get back nouveau?

Thanks,
