The Linux 2.6 kernel works on the RM200 C, that's the variant with EISA
and PCI slots.  If you dare you may take that code as a rough guide for
FreeBSD porting.  The RM300 C is very similar.  I have no information
about architectural differences to other systems of the RM family and
due to hardware flakyness I'm probably not going to be able to maintain
the RM200 C port much longer.
