I succeed to support genfb(4).  ;-)

However, I saw the color of the character and the cursor strange.  For
instance, the cursor was a pink color, font was a gray.  I was able to
change the color to white by defining WS_DEFAULT_FG. 

    options WS_DEFAULT_FG=WSCOL_LIGHT_WHITE

Moreover, I was able to obtain following information. 

    0x00 - 0x1f : black - white
    0x20 - 0x3f :       - blue
    0x40 - 0x5f :       - red


And I have a new problem.  Both of the match() of vga and genfb returns 1.
Therefore, which attaching is tried cannot be specified.  Isn't it return
value revokable dynamic in some methods we?

Or, are there any ideas?

hmm...
I tried that.  However powerpc/stand/mkbootimage can't boot for bebox... X-<
I will debug new mkbootimage.  ;-)
