You need to reconfigure the kernel for two frame buffers.  Either use
doconfig, or add another frame buffer to your configuration file
and rebuild your kernel.    You already have a line like:

	device          fb0     at ibus?        vector fbint

Just add another like:

	device          fb1     at ibus?        vector fbint
