I feel like the author of this post, given their interests and history, might be amused by this tidbit.

- classichasclass 4y agoDidn't know that, and yes, I am amused! However, it looks like it was more focused on systems that ran Linux or some such already. I'd need to make a boot system specifically for this - but, by no means impossible, now that I've figured out what the bootloader is looking for. That said, I'm one of those NetBSD guys. ;)
- brynet 4y agoAh well. At least the code/drivers remain in the CVS Attic, perhaps they might be useful for a future NetBSD port. Fun write-up.
- classichasclass 4y agoI think the big hurdle would be getting the serial console up, but if I understand the board correctly, those drivers may indeed be the ticket. So thank you!
