I want to run netbsd on StrongARM Evaluation board EBSA-110.

>From http://www.ph.kcl.ac.uk/pub/acorn/riscbsd/docs/faq.htm and
http://www.digital.com/pub/digital/info/semiconductor/literature/saosqrc.pdf
I learn that netbsd can run on EBSA-110.  

I followed links at www.bsd.org to 
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/netbsd/netbsd-1.3.1/arm32/binary/kernel
I find files:

A7000.gz
A7INST.gz 
RC7500.gz
RISCPC.gz
RPCINST.gz
VOYAGER.gz

should I use one of those?  (which one).

---

If it is not possible to use one of those how should I generate a binary
to run in the EBSA-110?  (i.e what should I feed to config program to 
compile a kernel?).

How do I get the kernel and rest of the system into the board and running.
All docs I read on install assume that a floppy is present in the system.

---

If I have to compile the binary, I'll have to cross-compile from 
a netbsd machine running on Pentium.  Where to I find more information on
this?  

I gather that the gcc sources can be compiled into a cross-compiler.
But the various combinations I tried for target with configure program 
for gcc build did not work.  What should I give for target?
