	NetBSD/riscpc is slightly ambiguous as NetBSD should be
	able to run on or be ported to the Shuttle RiscPC (the only
	mention of which I can find is in the WinNT compatability list)
	http://www.aspsys.com/files/hct/sep94hcl.txt

	However, we already have NetBSD/mipsco supporting early mipsco
	machines and NetBSD/arc supporting the later ones, so I'd
	definitely vote for NetBSD/riscpc :)
