I see. Thank you for giving me information.

Boot disk which seems to be the same as LinuxPPC/BeBox is being used.
I was changed so that it could exec ELF binary from the file system
of cd9660 and (big endian) ufs, by using NetBSD stand library.

VGA card being supported is really the same as the thing of LinuxPPC/BeBox.

It thinks that serial console is possible.

I made page of NetBSD/be.
