Hi. I noticed no one responded to you inquiry, so I'll jump in. Your
best bet is to subscibe to port-i386@netbsd.org and
current-users@netbsd.org and watch for changes from commiters that might
affect compatability with your model.
And of course, the web page:
http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/i386/ps2.html
...oh yea, until then, you might want to look at:
http://www.freedos.org/
and of course, a tcp/ip stack:
http://www.klos.com/ (runs on NetBSD)
