Possible additional testing options:
- Boot a NetBSD-10 kernel with cg6 disabled - IIRC it should just boot
and use the console as a dumb PROM framebuffer
- Boot a NetBSD-current kernel from https://nyftp.netbsd.org/
- Boot older (NetBSD-5 etc) kernels

Since the problem occurs before the system actually starts running
userland, the second and third options should be possible to test by
just copying in a test kernel under a different name and booting it -
if it gets far enough to show you init crashing then the display issue
is not present :-p
