There is already a port of NetBSD for the 4300i, see:

	http://www.algor.co.uk/www/info/p4032-benefits.html

These guys make an eval board with a 4300i and a PCI bus, and have
apparently hacked NetBSD into running on it.  But then again, that
is what the NetBSD gang have concentrated on, portability, isn't
it?

Anyhow, a running NetBSD system would be a good starting point for
N64BSD.  ;^)  Now, how are we going to pound a disk drive into the
Nintendo?
