Easy:  You have a motherboard that was sold from the factory as a color (cg4)
system.  Such boards save a couple of bucks by omitting the on-board bwtwo1.
Someone later must have switched the cg4 with a P4-bus bwtwo1.

Orrrrrrrrrr, you *do* have an on-board bwtwo0, but also have a cgfour that
you're not telling us about.

Try removing /dev/bwtwo0 and any other /dev entries for fb's that you don't
have.
