I see in the install.html for NetBSD-4 that the NSLU2 is now supported 
under the evbarm platform.  I've run Debian on my NSLU2 for some time 
and am very interested in trying BSD.  But, I'm a little confused as to 
where to find it.

In the NetBSD-4 documentation, I see the following under the list of 
supported devices:
 Technologic Systems TS-7200
 Arm, Ltd. Integrator
 Intel IQ80310
 Intel IQ80321
 Team ASA Npwr
 Intel IXM1200
 Samsung SMDK2800
 ADI BRH
 Arcom Viper

None of these appears to be a NSLU2 type device, which I thought was the 
Intel XScale IXP425.  In the evbarm FAQ, I see a note that says to use a 
file "netbsd.bin" with a tftp server and redboot.  I have the tftp 
server, and I have the serial port with which to talk to redboot, but I 
don't know where to get the appropriate "netbsd.bin".  I've also scanned 
through several of the ftp sites offering NetBSD-4 and see more or less 
the same list of devices.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks - Don
