dmesg from real hardware is appreciated

Hm, in the spirit of adventure, I just flashed your NetBSD kernel on my Neo, like this:

uma% ./dfu-util -a kernel -R -D ~/Desktop/netbsd.boot dfu-util - (C) 2007 by OpenMoko Inc.

Then I tried booting it from the serial console. I can't tell whether it went catatonic, or whether it simply is outputting to a console device I don't have attached, but the last output I got was this, which came from the boot loader, not the kernel (this is on the usbmodem console):

GTA01Bv4 # boot


NAND read: device 0 offset 0x44000, size 0x200000
 2097152 bytes read: OK
## Booting image at 32000000 ...
   Image Name:   Kernel Image
   Created:      2007-10-09  22:49:50 UTC
   Image Type:   ARM NetBSD Kernel Image (uncompressed)
   Data Size:    2088749 Bytes =  2 MB
   Load Address: 30008000
   Entry Point:  30008110
   Verifying Checksum ... OK

So basically it just fell flat on its face. I'd be happy to test more kernels, but I don't have any particular suggestions as to what may have gone wrong. One worry I'd have is that in the transition from the boot prom to the kernel, the USB serial device might go away, at which point seeing the console would be problematic. Are you expecting that the console will be visible via the debug board? I have one at home, but I won't have access to it until ~Wednesday.

Anything I can do to help, please let me know. I'd love to see NetBSD running on my Neo.
