The sense reported is the base sense code. The current NetBSD video code
doesn't do extended sense codes. It's effectively unimportant anyway since
we only use the sense codes to see if there's a monitor there or not. (i.e.
so we skip video init on machines with no monitor).

The current code reads a register on the video controller to get the offset
from the base address of video RAM.  So it should be correct :-)

It' s possible that the video driver under MacOS is somehow not setting the
base address register correctly.

These are problems I'd like to fix when I write a proper color video
driver. If I could get a spare
weekend sometime soon, I would do it! Grrr...
