Some of the Synology boxes should work using NetBSD/evbarm with the
SHEEVAPLUG kernel.

The manufacturer doesn't list which model uses which processor on
their main website but the DS411j and DS211j look as if they are using
the Marvell Kirkwood. There is more info in their support fora though.

Other models are supposed to be using Atom CPUs.
