Here's my take:

>> CONGRATULATIONS ON COMMIT!!
>> http://www.nerv.org/netbsd/?q=id:20150123T123409Z.1de7cd0b1aded2491dd1df77238a9d9e3c80caa5
>> 
>> I've put it together since I was pressed.
>> Probably somebody will fix.
>> 
>> So, here's how to boot NetBSD / Parallela:
>>  1. Prepare the serial console.
>>     Thankfully there's silkscreen print of GND/TX/RX so you wouldn't confuse.
>>  2. Prepare the SD card as official site
>>     http://www.parallella.org/create-sdcard/
>>  3. Rename the netbsd.gz.ub which you made to uImage, and put it (overwrite) into the MS-DOS partition of SD card.
>>  4. Place the SD card to the board and boot.
>>     u-boot will automatically read and extract it at 0x01000000.
>>  5. Unfortunately u-boot does not handle NetBSD boot, thus you need to type:
>>     "go 100000"
>> 
>> That easy.
>> 
>> The rest is, where to put the userland.
>> I haven't tried ld0 but RaspberryPi image should work.
>> I used the USB sd0 for testing.
>> 
>> After some light use, USB ethernet works with no major problems.
>> (But, USB has problem after reset ttp://forums.parallella.org/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=1650 so use with caution.  In my environment the USB is reluctant to work.  I mean it works when once it boots.)
>> 
>> So I've committed it, I'll have to leave from Zynq for a while.
>> I must work on i.MX6.
