Bffs-1.3 only implements the old BSD file system. It damages any
newly-created, or updated, as of NetBSD-1.0 and later, filesystem.

You should use Bffs-1.4 (which is readonly) or Bffs-1.5 (which hopefully
knows about the 64bit structure).

I suggest you just delete that .X11-unix directory; the X server will
restore it, and the socket for local connections in it, as needed. (it
was below /tmp).

You should check the mondef file you use with the X server (if it is one
which needs it); and, maybe, re-run "sh MAKEDEV all" in the /dev
directory.
