Well, NetBSD is arguably in a better place now (netbsd-10/11) than it
was in 2018 (netbsd-7) - booting and non-functional X11 usually beats
hang-on-boot :)

While that might seem like cold comfort, it does mean it is much
easier to test changes.

I don't have any pmax hardware to hand, but I ran up a netbsd-11 pmax
build with macallan's
machine_btop(sc->sc_vaddr + SFB_FB_OFFSET + offset);
patch on the offchance you are free to test:
https://sync.absd.org/pmax/netbsd-11-2025-11-15/ - includes iso and
kernels :)
