Hi All,

Thanks for your help.

It has been determined this blade system is not
compatible with netbsd and it was returned.

http://galis.org/blade-penguincomputing/notes.html

I beleve the central problem is around the HT1000
chip which seems to play a part in USB, Serial,
network and other functions, with a not entirly
standard protocol.

The PR should be closed.
