Hmm, this does not look good---I'm not a specialist but I don't
understand how you can see anything at all, the framebuffer address
and size are nonexistent. This is where it seems to break down.

When you give 'gop list', do you see any other modes? Can you change
to any other mode (sth like 'mode X' with X the mode number might
work?) and try boot?

Do you see the same numbers in FreeBSD and OpenBSD? If yes then we'd
need to investigate how Free/OpenBSD fix this.

If you can connect your machine to a wired network you can ssh into
the machine. You'd need to configure you NIC in /etc/rc.conf (same as
in FreeBSD) and note that by default DragonFly ssh configuration does
not allow passwds; you need either keys or then change the
configuration to allow passwds.
