Privately built hardware.  The NetBSD Marvell code supports any
PPC processor (74xx, 750, etc.) which can connect to the Discovery.

The MVME5500 should work once you figure out how the periphs are
attached.  Looking at the datasheet, it looks like it should be
relatively easy to get NetBSD running on it.  Any idea what
firmware it has?
