I'm chasing up getting an ARC port into the NetBSD tree.  One of the
necessary steps is to get the sys/arch/mips support working with an
ARC-compliant bus-space layers and the NetbSD MI drivers.

So I'm making the Pica port already in the tree to build and boot
again, in order to get the sys/arch/mips interface and the early
boot-time setup debugged.

If there's anyone out there with *BSD on a Acer Pica-chipset machine
who's willing to test a kernel, please contact me. I have one built
and waiting.

thanks
