Is there a way to write NetBSD into the windows CE ROM? That would be
amazing, to have the machine (I have a z50) boot into netbsd every time.
Has anyone had any success, I'm sure some people must have tried to do this.

Chances are to 'install' it in the 'flash' you can transfer the files
to the flash area and use them boot.  bsdboot.exe + netbsd should be
all you need there.
