I spent about 30mins trying to port NetBSD to the NC about the main
stumbling block was the the the podulebus works. It didn't recognise the
ethernet card. I spent some of the time altering the code that checks for
podules but couldn't get it to work and gave up. Haven't had time to go
back to it.
The kernel booted ok up to the filesystem mounting though.
I'm sure someone with more knowledge of podules and the EtherN (I think
that's what it is, unique to the NC) will be able to get it to work.
They are almost identical to the A7000+
