Nouveau not initializing correctly with stock kernel of NetBSD 10.0.0

[Connor McLaughlan <cont6pro3%gmail.com@localhost>]

Hello All,

i am trying to get a framebuffer and possibly accelerated x11 on an
amd64 box using nouveau.
The GPUs i tried are an old PCIe 8400GS and a GTS250.

So far i had no success with a fresh install of NetBSD 10.0.0 and the
stock kernel, the monitor output freezes after this line, and never
comes back to life - i also cannot switch to other consoles or bring
up x11:

However the system comes up and i can ssh into it. So dmesg gives the
following additional info after the output freeze above - including a
few timeouts:

[    45.850161] wsdisplay0: screen 4 added (default, vt100 emulation)

My only succesfull option to get a working console output and to start
up x11 was to build a kernel without nouveau and only the generic
framebuffer. Of course then i don't have accelerated opengl in x11.

Can someone help or give some insights on what can i do to bring up
nouveau successfully?

Best regards,
Connor
