Dear Kyle,

Though I'm porting Linux to our embedded board now, I am interested
in the job of porting NetBSD also, so I'd like to know how much memories
(ROM and RAM) needed by the NetBSD kernel in your embedded
application, could you please share your experiences with me? TIA.

Best Regards,
Tonny
