The NetBSD MIPS port is a little hard to get my brain around right now, for some reason. It is a very good starting place, since there is a snapshot of some work in progress for a MIPS 4x00 port, which is what I'd need. My machine is just oddball enough (well, it looks a *LOT* like a PC EISA machine, complete with the memory mapping of the bus at the same place as on Intel) that I'll have to hack whatever I go with. I've actually made good progress with the Linux port, so I'll likely stick with that for the moment. I'm to the point where the kernel is panicing because it can't load the ramdisk image that I've not yet created. Go figure :-) Warner
