turns out netbsd amd64 works beautifully on the v20z.
http://www.shrubbery.net/~heas/twedm.amd64 is an amd64 binary. I can view
the controller information of the 7810 I just stuck in the box, but there
are no drives connected and I have no idea how I could possibly get the
cables in there anyway. feel free to try it; all warnings implied.
