I have booted NetBSD on one, but a driver for the serial chip on it
must be written to make it useable. The chip is a SC26C94 IIRC so it
shouldn't be too difficult to fix a driver for it. The main problem
with that arch is that it has no safety belts at all, the smallest
error you do needs power recycling, reset do not work.
