Here's some info about 11/730: 
NetBSD does currently _not_ support 730, and it's no idea to try to 
boot it either; it won't work. _But_: It would be rather easy to add
730 CPU support to NetBSD; if I had a 730 i could probably do that in
a couple of hours. 
Besides the CPU support it also needs some disks. If the 730 is equipped
with RL02 - forget it. There are no RL02 device drivers in NetBSD and 
it wouldn't be an good ides to try to install on a disk which is so 
small that it cannot even hold the root filesystem :-) If the 730 is
equipped with a R80 disk, a device driver needs to be written for this.
If it is equipped with an UDA50 - feel lucky, it will work directly.
How to boot such a beast? The only way is to boot from the TU58 tapes.
A 730 cannot boot from directly from ethernet, but if the program 
loaded from the TU50 contains code to load a kernel via the network 
then it will work. But first, you must have a TU58 tape.

Now I'll go back to my 11/785 that is trying to compile 1.3Alpha
right now :-)
