Has anyone done a large (2000+) 'beowulf' style compute
cluster with NetBSD? I've been reading a about
some of the expierences from doing large clusters at
Sandia [1].

There are a number of interesting tweek points for 
doing this like; the way paging is done, network
buffering, and a change in the way they do system
calls that are optimized for a net-centric environment.

Do you think that NetBSD would be good for this?
