Uh, no. If you read the Digital Semiconductor page closely, you will
learn that NetBSD is being distributed with the DNA (Digital Network
Appliance) board as a development system. The final application is
expected to run on "NC Access" from Network Computer Inc. I believe,
but cannot substantiate, that Wind River Systems is a partner in the
OS portion of NC Access.
On the other hand, it's a cool little design. I can't wait until
my 2 arrive. ;^) (Only 100 Mhz processors, though. Pooh!)
