Filecorefs is the opppsite of unixfs. unixfs provides ffs support for
RiscOS and filecorefs provides RISCOS filecore support for NetBSD. Both
can be used to xfer files between RISCOS and NetBSD.

This is irrelevant from filecorefs's point of view. it is just a
filesystem and is nothing to do with the interface the filesystem resides
on. The simtec IDE interface is supported so all you need is to make sure
you have partitions in the NetBSD disklabel for the RISCOS partitions and
you should be able to mount them.
