It worked for me. The trick was to define 386BSD. Yes, we don't have intel
chips, but 386BSD was an ancestor to NetBSD. :-)

As someone else mentioned, you can also run Netatalk. I'd recomend it
(partly as I helped port it :-) It patches the kernel to handle Appletalk
on the same level as IP. Most -current kernels have it built in.

You will also need the user-land (non-kernel) part. Either get the
patched binary on puma, or go snooping around on Yahoo and get
Adrian Sun's patched netatalk for AppleShareIP. It's at version a16
or so, and has had NetBSD support since about version a8.

Look at aufs for CAP (Appletalk Unix File Server) or afpd for netatalk
(Appletalk Filesharing Protocol Daemon).

Take care,
