Nope it has not been tested of this box. The core support is present in
NetBSD i.e. for the SA110 / DC21285 and various PCI devices but a NetBSD
bringup has not been tried.

I have said before that if someone will loan me a box I would get the
Netwinder support done.

Well the EBSA285 or CATS kernel configurations would be a good place to
start. As far as I am aware the only real problem will be booting the
kernel and having the environment setup suitably when the kernel is
entered.

How does the firmware on the Netwinder work ?
