Sorry, I can't answer your question.  Your question reminded me that I
have a VME capable machine and that I was surprised to find that NetBSD
'just ran' on it.  I know paul has made some minor mods to clean things
up a bit since I brought it up but I thought I'd share it with y'all:

It's a 4/690 with a dual cpu module in it... too bad cpu1 doesn't actually
do anything...

The machine also has a VME IPI2 controller and a couple of those 16 port
serial boards; VME also...

anyway, I was impressed. I'm going to run one of these at home now...
