67 is a refresh-rate, not a depth

Context: I'm testing NetBSD 10.0 BETA on an isolated node (not
production). Only kernel and modules (not userland); and kernel is not
GENERIC but a special config one matching the previous 9.2 config
running on the node.

No problem so far. As a user (and as advertised), I had simply to use
audiocfg(1) to set the new correct default for audio in order to have
sound back where I used to expect it.

The main difference is about the framebuffer: previous kernel version
picked the correct mode. NetBSD 10.0 does not and use "entry level"
mode 640x480x67, resulting streched fat big characters; message:

no data for est. mode 640x480x67

I think we are looking at the wrong place. The problem is the depth
in the mode looked for: 67! The only depths the cards new about are
multiple of 2^3.

So where does this come from?
