Good question. It didn't last time I tried, but that was at *least* a
year ago. (At one of my jobs there are two 4/470s that would benefit
from something a little more modern than what they're stuck with now.)
Something about a three-level MMU and a kernel option MMU_3L; later, I
went looking and didn't find any MMU_3L and asked. The option had gone
away or mutated, but don't recall any details.
If you get it working, I want to hear about it! :-)
