Well, NetBSD/hp300 does understand netboot, and I can see value in having 
a pre-packaged hp300 "Xkernel" package (though, really, it won't be an X 
kernel, but rather just a special init(8) (shell script), and make the 
swapfile 0 bytes (or, if you're low on memory, go ahead and provide some 
swap space...)

On a related note, I'm looking for someone to, in an official capacity, 
maintain X11 for the hp300 ... if you're interested, please contact me 
via private e-mail.  In particular, I'm trying to find someone who can 
act as a clearing house for XhpBSD knowledge, and do the grunt work of 
building binaries (R6 clients, R5 server, for now), maintaining patches, 
and do the work on ftp.NetBSD.ORG.  I know I'm the port-master, but to be 
quite honest, I don't have the time to dedicate to hacking on X11, so I 
need a little help.

Thanks!
