NetBSD already has CDFs! You just gotta find'em:
Wanted:
/foo/bar resolving to right architecture.
Do:
mkdir /arch
cd /arch
ln -s /foo/bar.m68k8k foo.bar
cd /foo
ln -s /arch/foo.bar bar
Now, when you access /foo/bar, it resolves to /arch/foo.bar. This is in
the root filesystem on each host. Now, this resolves to /foo/bar.(arch).
A bit gross, and it pollutes the root filesystem, but for "plain" Unix,
it works. Union mounts help a lot here.
