We recently came into posession of a Sun 4/330 with a healthy amount of 
disk. Since we already run NetBSD on several SS1 and ELC:s we naturallt 
want to do the same on the 4/330. When booting NetBSD with the console on 
a serial port (we need an adapter cable to connect the monitor) it only 
mentions a bwtwo frame buffer. This seems strange since it tests a lot of 
video memory during the selftest, and also 24 bit dac.

Is the frambuffer connected to the cpu-card on a 4/330 unsupported by 
NetBSD? We have an old VME cgtwo card lying unused. Can it be used in a 
4/330?
