I think you are totally out of luck here! As far as I remember the
only 40MHz 68030 manufactured a EC types, i. e. without MMU. NetBSD
(and any other _real_ UNIX) absolutely requires an MMU! I am also not
sure if the VXL blard contains an FPU, which is, at the current state
of NetBSD, also strictly required. Future versions might have a
software emulation, but I don't know about any actual plans to
implement that.

500 MB will probably be a good size to do some development. Given that
500 MB hard disks are quite cheap at the moment, this looks like a
good choice.

But as said above, I believe that you need to get a new processor
board first. Better check that out!
