I tried using -dev, but it didn't change anything.  On bootup I get:

obmem0 at mainbus0
bwtwo0 at obmem0 addr 0xff000000 (1152x900)
cgfour0 at obmem0 addr 0xff200000 (1152x900)

So yes, it does configure just fine (or so it seems).  I'm building a
-current
kernel right now, so if it doesn't work, I'll try hard-coding the address
in, and see what I can make happen.
