The Multia with the Nov94 firmware won't boot NetBSD largely because
the PCI interrupt registers in the i82378 are left uninitialized.  The UDB
is just another name for the Multia hardware.  The UDB is capable of
running OSF/1 (aka Digital Unix).  Supposedly there is a more recent
vintage of Firmware for the Multia, but I have yet to get hold of 
a copy.  I presume this Firmware is what comes with the UDB.  If anyone
has more info please let me know.
