Ok, so I've officially booted NetBSD/i386 -current on my Netpliance
Iopener.  This was completed *WITHOUT* opening the case, not 2.5" IDE
hard drive was used, etc.
The steps involved are: (using a normal keyboard BTW)
	1.  Get to a root shell, via 'ESC 4' and fast typing. :)
	2.  Bring up PPP to a NetBSD machine.  Having a PBX helps.
	3.  Backup the 16MB of flash, with the following:
	    # cat /dev/hd0 | gzip -9 > hd0.gz
	    # ftp <your server>
	    ftp> put hd0.gz
	4. Replace flash with NetBSD image, by ftping compressed file.
	   # gzip -d -c file_name.gz | cat > /dev/hd0
	5. Wait a few seconds, yank power to prevent QNX updating flash.
	6. Reboot under NetBSD, enjoy.

Obviously I've boiled it down too far. :-)  If anyone out there wants
more specifics, let me know.  Currently the USB Ethernet is not ideal as
the attach is deferred until *after* the root filesystem mount.  So I
am currently using memory disk as the root.  I haven't really done much
other than grab the dmesg output and ftp it out over the USB Ethernet.
NFS mounting over the USB Ethernet seems ok for the moment, but I am still
in single-user and not doing much.  Well, ok, other than running mpg123
and making sure the audio works.  Yup, a $99 MP3 station. :)

So, for $99 you can get a cool LCD panel computer, add a $40 USB Ethernet
and make a diskless X terminal, etc.

Below is the dmesg output.
