That works, thanks.

But shouldn't it work without that?
Maybe that's a bug in Xamiga, which tries grf[9-1] and the goes to view00
etc. before even trying grf0?

Maybe playing with iteconfig to change resolution helps?
Assuming Custom chipset, I don't know about console on gfx boards on
NetBSD/amiga.

No, that's the message you get if none of the 'views' pseudo-devices gets
found. Aparently that's not the actual problem here actually, as they are
found, just that Xamiga can't use them.
