As far as I know, UAE hasn't emulated MMU's, which is FAR more important
than how the filesystems are. If you haven't got an MMU, there will be no
unix (no 'real' one at least), but if you lack a partition-style
filesystem you can always go ramdisk or similar.
So, check out if UAE does mmu's now, and if it doesn't, dont bother
thinking about running netbsd on it, since it will not work.
