Note that for mono you probably need Xmfbpmax which I haven't built yet.

I think your clock is (was) out of sync :-)

When the machine boots you should see some diagnostics for the
frame buffer or suchlike.  I get "pm0 (color display)" on mine,
so maybe you would get "pm0 (monochrome display)" ?  Or maybe
mfb0.

You can test if the device is there at all with 'cat /dev/pm0'.
If you get "Device not configured" it's not there at all.

If you have a somewhat -current kernel it won't have /dev/pm0
even if it finds pm0 during boot.  I used a temporary patch (appended).

(look in pub/NetBSD/arch/pmax/X11R5/ver-5.26/bin@pmaxnetbsd for
Xmfbpmax if you want to test it - I'm not able to test it at all,
but I can put it out there for you.)
