Hi Mike,

There is an effort to port NetBSD to the Indigo R4000, but unfortunately not the R3000. Needless to say, the R4000 kernel won't run on your 3000 machine.
If you're interested in porting it yourself, that'd be pretty cool, but I warn you that you'll be needing info from SGI that won't be easy to obtain.

Cheers,

Gerald
