Default DRM i915 gmch panic installing NetBSD 7.0.1 amd64

I'm trying to install NetBSD 7.0.1 amd64 on a 10-year old Intel DG35EC board with an Intel Core2 Quad Q8200 processor. The installation menu appears normally, I select 1, 2 or 3 to install with or without ACPI and SMP and it starts unwinding some installation files.

Then it panics with green text on black. I can't capture the text, but I wrote some of it down:
Code:
...
agpo: can't find MMIO registers i915drmkms0 at pci0 dev 2 function 0: vendor 0x8086 product 02982 (rev. 0x03)
...
DRM error in i915_gmch_probe: failed to setup gmch
...
panic: extent_free: region not found...
I've run Windows and FreeBSD on this machine and it currently boots a Finnix 111 rescue Linux USB stick OK. I've tried using a different USB drive.

Is there any way to get NetBSD installed on this machine?

Default Disable the i915 drivers.

At the boot prompt from the CD, (select 1,2,3,etc), drop to the boot command prompt, and then disable the i915* modules by entering the following:
Code:
userconf disable i915*
(I believe that's the correct, double check with manual pages to be sure.)

Couldn't get it to work, so I installed OmniOS instead.

I wanted to get back to NetBSD, partly because I liked using a simple UNIX with pkgsrc. But I also wanted to try out one of the illumos Solaris distros.

Even though OmniOS is intended to be a server, not a desktop, I can use Joyent's pkgsrc repo. It's intended for their own illumos Solaris distro, SmartOS, but it works just fine with OmniOS.

I haven't gotten X to work yet (always a problem with everything but Linux), but I've installed lots of pkgsrc packages. Fun.
