The last time I installed NetBSD/i386 1.2, it was on a machine
whose only video was a 12 inch amber monochrome screen hooked up
to a Hercules monochrome video card (one of those full length 8
bit cards taken out of an old XT) and I had no problems.

There is even supposedly XFree86 support for that but I never tried it.

I think MGA is a different (later) thing, though.
