Hi,

NetBSD was being worked on by some guys in the team, we donated hardware
to O'Brien (?) and another one (I don't have access to the database right
now sorry) and Jorge Acerada (sorry if I spelled your name wrong) has
a box anyway and was willing to help.

As far as I recall, it booted into single user mode, then they couldn't
get the openfirmware ethernet to work - plus a few firmware bugs may
have stalled progress (some of these are fixed now). We have suggested
eschewing the OF port for now and using x86 drivers (NetBSD 2.0 supports
everything except the Firewire and GigE on other hardware) instead.

I think people have simply run out of time for it though.

I would love to hear from those with responsibility as to the actual
progress.

On January 9th, that's tomorrow, the hardware specs and schematics
become available from Power.org to registered members (free signup).
This may spur someone to look back at it, with renewed information
and so on.

Hope that is what you were looking for.
