Yeah, but it's the only NetBSD SD Card image I could find. This morning I 
started looking at how a Raspberry Pi boots and decided to bypass all the uboot 
stuff because I don't need it.

It took me a little while to get things underway because I had lost the nightly 
cron job that keeps my copy of -current up to date while getting a new kitchen 
installed (long story). It turns out that the bootstrap binaries on that image 
don't seem to work on my board. I copied the kernel.img that I built onto a 
Linux SD Card and it booted just fine and I copied the bootstrap binaries onto 
the NetBSD SD Card and that booted just fine too.

Cheers,
