I've had no troubles installing NetBSD on PWs without any display 
card at all.  You need a VT100 type terminal on the serial port or 
a cross connect cable connected to another system. 

At the >>> prompt, do a "show | more".  I think the paramater is 
called "console".  It selects between "serial" and "graphics".  Set 
it to serial and reboot. 

I think things get forced into to the serial mode if you unplug the 
keyboard.
