The wscons driver for the virtio-gpu device ported in this PR should allow console interaction in your case: https://gnats.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=58681 I would think the patch included in the PR should apply to the 10.0 sources. Without console access, it is possible you could take an approach similar to the one detailed here, assuming netcup has something analagous to Hetzner's rescue mode (or another means of accessing the root disk from another OS): https://www.unitedbsd.com/d/1262-howto-run-netbsd-on-hetzner-cloud Regards, George
