Hello,

I had the same question and was poking about to find out what I could.
I found this message from last year, which indicates a Sheevaplug
kernel should work.

That patch was applied in May 2011, and would be in the netbsd-6 and
current branches.  So it may "just work"...  I don't have my hands on
a Dreamplug to test that theory, though...

Regards,

Dave
