What do you mean?  On my amiga it's been used for a while, I'm quite
sure.

BTW, are there any info on how widespread NetBSD is used on the
different platforms?  I guess i386 has the largest community, even
though the NetBSD-Amiga community surely consists of about 100+ users.
What about the sun3, sparc, hp, mac etc?
