Actually, the Q605 is still probably a serial-console only machine at the 
moment (or at least I think it still has ADB problems, but I could be 
wrong).  The other problem with it is that it has an LC040 processor, 
which means that it is going to give you a _lot_ of seg faults and 
possibly illegal instruction errors.  So, you might want to wait a little 
while before you try to get it to work.  However, any of the more recent 
kernels off of ftp.netbsd.org (_not_ the 1.2 distribution kernel) might 
have a chance of working somewhat.

I hope this helps some.

Later.
