These machines normally come with Windows NT firmware only so they can
not run OSF/1 or BSD.  I've asked Stephen how much it costs to get the
OSF/1 firmware but I don't have an answer yet.  This isn't one of DEC's
systems so there are no firmware updates for it on DEC's ftp server.

Is it practical to make a version of NetBSD that boots from the WNT
("ARC") console?  I have one of these systems with WNT firmware only
and I'm willing to help test.
