It's better up to a point. So it boots up to the point where the login
prompt should appear. After the information about the todays date and
time an error message appears telling me that:

/dev/screen no such file or directory

Any idea why?

Unfortunately it is unreachable over the network because the hme
reports no carrier (in NetBSD i have to set the media opt by hand to get
it working but here I've had no success so far).
