At one point the Mach MK83 kernel (no server) did build and boot on NetBSD
around 0.9 or so. Since the off_t changes and probably others, this is no
longer the case, although it should be useful to track this down.

There is a project on-going that is a Mach server/emulator based on 4.4Lite
(LITES). It is fairly far along - boots multiuser, runs NetBSD, FreeBSD,
Mach, and Linux binaries (Linux Doom). The mailing list to get on for this
is "lites@cs.hut.fi" .
