I'll do that next time, but.... some weeks ago you've asked for someone 
who is running NetBSD on a 320 - I've done it. My config:
68020/68881/HP-MMU at 16.67MHz, 5MB RAM, 16-Bit-DMA, Fast HP-IB, 
monocrome topcat-display.
The generic kernel doesn't run on it, it panics while probing the 
HP-IB-devices saying something like 'device not configured' or so, but my 
home-brewn Kernel runs... with CPU320 only enabled, any SCSI-support 
disabled.
The problem: it's terribly slow. Doesn't boot properly from the 
Fast-HP-IB. Loads not faster than via the built-in one and panics after a 
while. My harddisk is a 7958B ( maybe the number is wrong, can't look at 
it now because I am 40 km away from it :-( ) that's a 120MB disk 
supporting fast HP-IB ( tried it with HP-BASIC 5.1 , loads *very* fast 
but the BASIC itself seems not to know about the controller... may be 
the controller's config is wrong, could anyone tell me something about it ? 
The controller is labeled 'Disk interface' and a DMA-Controller is here... 
No idea about the meaning of the DIP-switches on the controller-board, no 
switches on the DMA-Board. )
Anyway, NetBSD runs fine but slow, that may change when the fast HP-IB 
can be used.

That was it. In the next days I will get a Ethernet-Board... can I boot a 
320 via a network ? It has a Rev. A Boot ROM .

thanks in advance...
