 <p>NetBSD/pmax 1.6.2 works perfectly with X out-of-the-box. Unfortunately,  
 newer NetBSD releases have changed slightly, and X does not work straight  
 away with NetBSD 2.x and 3.x. It seems that this has to do with NetBSD  
 switching console system to "WSCONS" somewhere between 1.6.2 and 2.0.  
   
 <p>What this means is that if you want to use emulated X11, then you need  
 to run NetBSD 1.6.2. At the time of writing this, 4.0_BETA snapshots work  
 fine too, but 4.0 isn't released yet. If you feel that you only need  
 serial-console emulation, then choose 3.1.
