we've got NetBSD/hp300 running on ~3 machines now, with more to soon
follow. it has been incredibly stable as of late, due mostly to mycroft's
work on integrating 4.4-Lite and various other sundry tasks, and herb's
work at building a bootstrap release.
you can get herb's binaries and root image from the mirror on
ftp.CSOS.ORST.EDU:/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/arch/hp300, among others.
you're going to have trouble getting it onto the disk, if that's your
only one...
