Awesome Jason. I've supped, cleaned, built and I'm now running a new
kernel. Looks good!

OK, before I file a pr, maybe you can offer me a few pointers and I'll try
to track this down further. I have only one bug. Yes, it's that damn
second display again...
At bootup, the kernel does find both topcat displays:
Jan 30 12:22:53 haydon /netbsd: topcat0 at intio0 addr 0x560000: \
1280 x 1024 256 color hi-res catseye display
Jan 30 12:22:53 haydon /netbsd: grf0 at topcat0
Jan 30 12:22:53 haydon /netbsd: ite0 at grf0: console
...
Jan 30 12:22:54 haydon /netbsd: topcat1 at dio0 scode 193: \
1280 x 1024 256 color hi-res catseye display
Jan 30 12:22:54 haydon /netbsd: grf1 at topcat1
Jan 30 12:22:54 haydon /netbsd: ite1 at grf1
But once the system is up, I can't access /dev/grf1. For example:
haydon:carrel> /usr/sbin/grfinfo /dev/grf0
catseye
haydon:carrel> /usr/sbin/grfinfo /dev/grf1
none
I have a modified grfinfo that properly displays errors (I'll send-pr that
soon) and it gets the error "Device not configured" on open(). I get the
same error for /dev/ttye1.
The device files look like:
haydon:carrel> ls -l /dev/grf* /dev/ttye*
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 10, 0 Dec 16 1993 /dev/grf0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 10, 1 Sep 23 1995 /dev/grf1
crw------- 1 carrel tty 13, 0 Jan 30 12:30 /dev/ttye0
crw------- 1 root tty 13, 1 Sep 23 1995 /dev/ttye1
