Hi!

NetBSD on 6000 machines is "close-to-running". The CPU support for the
/400 is finished, it's just the XMI stuff (and following device support) 
that is missing.

Unfortunately it's difficult to get HW docs for those machines; 
I think the best source of info is the header files in Ultrix.

If you are willing to work with 6000 I can try to help you as much
as I can and have time to.
