The same happens on my Qube. After installing NetBSD 2.0 using the
restore CD 2.0-1, I get messages and can login to the Qube using a
serial cable and a terminal program. When I compiled a new kernel
using Daniel's suggestions, the outpuit on the serial console stops at
the same point than yours. However, logging in through ssh works.

Yes, the lcd works after Andreas' patch. It would be nice if the
buttons worked too, but IMHO this is not so important. I am much more
interested in how to make the lcd show that the Qube can be switched
off after a shutdown. Currently, the lcd keeps showing the name and ip
address, but with no output on the serial console, I am never sure if
the shutdown sequence has completed when I switch off the Qube.
