Yes - what you have listed is correct - I copied it down wrong - my
apologies!
This is the answer I was looking for - it's not supported and more than I
could expect to fix with my limited expertise - but possible in the future.
Thank you for the reply!

This is obscure. Did you change your GENERIC configuration file? The two
cfb's are recognized as follows w/o any change;
cfb0 at tc0 slot 1 offset 0x0: 1024x864x8
cfb1 at tc0 slot 0 offset 0x0: 1024x864x8 console
The 2nd cfb is recoginized first due to the way how NetBSD
TURBOchannel probes slots.
It's regretful that dual headed configuration of NetBSD/pmax is not
useful. The introduction of psuedo device fb has never been completed.
The combination of WSCONS and new X server will seek the sane solution
for it.
