Thanks for all the info...
Just did a quick internet search on this.....and found the following post that sounds like he got netbsd 1.5.3 to launch:
https://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-hpcmips/2003/03/05/0005.html
What do you think?

Subject: Intermec 6651 and NetBSD 1.5.3: works over serial, but no
framebuffer
Date: Wed, 05 Mar 2003 15:23:59 -0500
My MC-R700A backlight finally died. I guess I smacked it too hard or
something.
http://sakima.Ivy.Net/~carton/dropbox/NetBSD/mc-r700a/
I'm using the TX3922 kernel from NetBSD 1.5.3 on my Intermec 6651, and
setting it as a 'Sharp HC-VJ1C
(Japanese
)' in pbsdboot and hpcboot.
When I boot the Intermec 6651 with graphics console, it sorta works
but the console is unreadable.
(maybe because it's incorrectly forced
to 8bpp?---see serial boot messages below
) Is there some way to
configure the correct framebuffer settings so I can use 1.5.3? It
seems so close to working, albeit only with 1.5.3.
I built a TX3922 kernel from current-20021205 sources and it didn't
get this far, no boot messages---maybe this is the same problem the
ePod user reported?
1. ``execute kernel''
2. The screen fades to white like an interlaced GIF, maybe 0.5 sec.
3. the pre-boot Wince screen _comes back_, maybe 1 sec
4. the whole screen goes white, and boot messages appear in black.
except there are no characters---every glyph is replaced with a
black box, so the screen is character-cel-height bars of black
instead of text.
5. the thing gets to some kind of boot prompt probably ``enter root
device'' or something. the keymap seems kind of okay---at least h,
a, l, t, <enter>, and <capslock> are correctly mapped because i can
reboot the machine from this prompt. Also, the screen scrolls when
I reach the bottom correctly, so the bottom edge of the framebuffer
and the bottom edge of the screen are correctly aligned.
Below is the output of booting with serial console. The part where
the Wince screen reappears briefly coincides with the line about
plumvideo.
