	from my experiences, this should be a non-issue for those in the US.
	DC inlet looks standard so you can make a AC/DC adapter yourself
	at ease.

	if you boot NetBSD, this is also non-issue :-)
	you just need to install NetBSD onto Compact Flash (or Microdrive)
	by using a notebook PC, and replace the CF card in the chassis.
	GENERIC kernel boots fine.  LAMB kernel configuration is to strip down
	kernel memory footprint and to support 2nd ethernet port.
	there's almost no trick, it is a normal PC.

	there are couple of points we may need some customization (if your
	project is a serious one):
	- make it okay to pull the power plug without shutdown -h; mount all
	  filesystems readonly, and use mfs for /dev, /tmp and alike.
	- a driver for LED on the chassis.
	- supporting "shutdown" button on the chassis.
	for the 2nd and 3rd bullets, they kindly supply sample source code.
