OK, I tried this, and the X server did not crash when I ran it explicityly on
/dev/grf3,  however, the screen is unusable, filled with a sort of a dot pattern,
which fills the whole screen, and the hardware cursor  is corrupted.  Looks like
grf3 interface might have some serious issues, or perhaps something's wrong with the
Xamiga server?.  I'm using the exact same grfconfig file that I was using with 1.3.2
where everything was fine.  Also, I have just reinstalled NetBSD 1.4 completely from
scratch, to eliminate the possibility of some old files contaminating the system,
and the problem persists, so it must be in the 1.4 distribution.   I'm wondering
whether the fact that EGCS is now being used for building the system might have
something to do with this?  Anyway, things are pretty messed up right now.  The rest
of the system seems to be running ok, but I haven't really tried to do anything with
it yet, other than bringing it up.

p.s. what was the command to switch between the ite0 and ite3 consoles?  I thought
it was iteconfig, but that doesn't seem to do it.  I'd like to try to bring up X on
the custom chips to see if the problem occurs there as well, but I can't get to that
screen.
