BTW, this error above is caused by (IIRC) a change in the variable named
nubus_video_resource from being a normal global variable to being a static
variable.  This apparently pulls it out of the normal namespace, so the
LKM loader cannot find it when it tries to load the module.  I think that
the LKM I have up on puma now is a copy of the one that'll handle this.

Oh, since I don't think I remembered to send that notice to the list,
you can get my patched version at:

ftp://ftp.macbsd.com/pub/NetBSD/contrib/incoming/ender/

Keep in mind that read permissions are off on the incoming/ subdirectory
(but not in the ender/ subdirectory).

Later.
