Another motherboard-works-with-Net report:  NetBSD 4.0_BETA2
runs fine on a VIA EPIA CN10000EG motherboard.  I've got a 512MB
stick of "Samsung PC2-4200" from NCIX in it.

  VIA EPIA CN10000EG Rev. A1
  CN700 north bridge
  VIA VT8237R south bridge

I didn't check the BIOS version.

dmesg on the CN10000EG looks like this:
