Hmm... A long time ago I used to run NetBSD/pmax and NetBSD/alpha as = the main OS on the DECstation hardware in our lab. I had no idea their = support on Raspberry Pi was apparently so good. I might give it a spin = instead, as the situation with my FreeBSD/arm64 setup is a bit flaky at = the moment (and I'm running 12-STABLE). Thanks for the heads-up. Cheers, Paul.
