A friend of mine has successfully used NetBSD 4.0 RC5 on two C7
boards, but only after trying a couple of different DIMMs --
presumably memory compatibility problems.
I myself have a (much slower) C3-based CL6000E, running NetBSD 3.
Also possibly of interest to you:
Intel D201GLY2

Though I don't know if anyone has tried NetBSD on the D201GLY2 yet.
