I wouldn't say "wrongly", since there's no way for NetBSD to tell
which bits are used to determin pixel colors and which are not (this
piece of information is highly hardware dependent).  All NetBSD can
tell is how many bits a pixel consists of.  If a pixel consists of 16
bits, then there are 65536 combinations of the bits.  NetBSD simply
tells you how many ways of bit combination per pixel you get in the
given screen mode.
