I'm connecting by SSH session.

The purpose is run a server Debian Buster on VM into an OpenBSD server (without X).
To fix this problem, you must have a Debian guest that does not require a video card. I recommend:
  • Copy your Debian system to -- or recreate it on -- a system with a video card.
  • Provision the system so that a) it uses a serial console, and b) does not attempt to use video card hardware.
  • Copy the repaired image back to the OpenBSD host system.

Qemu is possible, but is a very cumbersome solution for this use-case.
  • The server is remote, headless, and does not have the X filesets installed.
  • Qemu can run guests with the no-graphics option but the Debian guest will fail with the same error, as it currently requires video.
  • Qemu guests can transmit virtual video card output over a network with Qemu's built-in VNC server. But it will be far easier to fix the Debian issue locally, on a workstation with a graphics card.
