Mach4 from utah (Don't remember the exact site, there's a link from cmu's
mach http server) will build and boot under Netbsd 1.0 with little changes.
To get it to recognize the 4.4 file systems requires patches to one
bootstrap file, but otherwise it works "out of the box".

Works fairly well is about right. Still has a few things before it can go
prime time, but certainly is usable.
