  The 3.X and earlier kernels doesn't work on the 1050 (it will be
supported in 4.0, whenever that happens).  I make some netbsd-3-0 branch
kernels not too long ago:
http://www.city-net.com/~darkstar/netbsd/clio.gz (standard clio kernel)
http://www.city-net.com/~darkstar/netbsd/ramdisk.gz (install kernel)

  It might be possible (I don't know how big those packages are), but
would at least need serious pruning of the standard distribution.
