There isn't anything very formalized, but I've had very little trouble
building NetBSD installs for Soekris hardware.  I found it pretty easy
even before I found out about syspkg.

I haven't had a chance to use a 4526 yet, but I have a bit of experience with
the 4521 and 4801.  I'm happy to help kibitz on these, as well as on the
Technologic TS-5500, which is fairly similar to a 4511, but has USB and a
PC-104 bus.
