That sounds logical, since the 3/110's cgfour also doubles as a bwtwo (the
cgfour has a B&W overlay plane that can be used as a bwtwo).  I'll make a
-current kernel (just got 1.1 installed on this guy yesterday), and see if
there are any changes there.

Would removing bwtwo from the kernel be okay?  I'm concerned this might
hose the console mode, but I'm not sure how the two are interconnected
(i.e., if the console relies on bwtwo being acessible).
