1.4_BETA seems to work fairly well.  No trouble with the new boot
blocks, and no panics so far.

However, there are some problems with the mfb and the new X server.

dmesg says:

mfb0 at tc0 slot 0 offset 0x0fb: more frame buffers probed than configured!

startx says:

Fatal server error:
no screens found
X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).

The text console works fine.

I made /usr/X11R6/bin/X a link to the old Xcfbpmax (from the 1.3.3
distribution).  That works fine.

Full dmesg output, and ktrace output from "startx" using the Xpmax
server are at:
