Well the NetBSD wiki was started for this purpose. Most of the port pages and 
hardware lists are out of date on the main site.

So if people start adding content to the wiki it will be a good resource.

I recently added a how to install NetBSD on a j720 page.
see http://wiki.aydogan.net/index.php/How_to_install_NetBSD_on_a_hpcarm

This adds a swap partiton to the flash disk, so if you want swap via nfs see

My j720 has a US layout, all keys work, the only problem was the ctrl key in x 
didnt work.
