Yes. My understanding is that the main issue is the lack of OF.

I think the best thing to do is use one of the Linux loaders and take the=
=20
OF tree it passes in and have NetBSD use that for info. So you will=20
basically make all the OF routines read out of your data tree rather than=
=20
calling into OF. And all the "methods" would not be there since there's no=
=20
OF to call into.

Take care,
