so, either way, it would seem that @BSD_user's GPU is not supported in 8.0 (as shep underlined, kernel is loading unaccelerated genfb framebuffer driver for your device rather than nouveau), so what graphics are you actually trying to make work? In case you didn't know for sure, just type

Code:
pcictl pci0 list | grep -i nvidia
which in my case returns

Code:
001:00:0: NVIDIA product 0a68 (VGA display, revision 0xa2)
now compare the PCI ID displayed right after 'product' (in this case '0a68') with this PCI ID Repository. In my case 0a68 matches GT218M [GeForce G 105M] which is what I have indeed.

Yet, I suspect this isn't going to end happily, given our kernel messages logged above, showing that genfb() had been loaded loaded on PCI 001 for product 1c20, which according to the PCI ID database linked above is:
Code:
GP106M [GeForce GTX 1060 Mobile]
which, as I said above, is not supported by nouveau on NetBSD, not even in HEAD/-current, I'm sincerely sorry
Nouveau supports 10xx Pascal Series only on Linux, IIRC since May 2017, starting with 4.12

It would be still advisable to ask for future support on netbsd-users mailing list, port-amd64, and tech-kern as well as #nouveau/#netbsd IRC channels on Freenode, and/or trying -current branch no sooner will DRM on HEAD be updated to Linux 4.12 or later, which I think is going to happen in a year time (only FreeBSD has DRM support catching up with Linux > 4.4). Remember to always provide device specs and additional system info.

Another alternative is FreeBSD with proprietary Nvidia drivers, which works just well and with way better performance (nouveau performance compared with nvidia-driver decreases exponentially after 7xx, so I wouldn't recommend it anyway).
