Re: Which ARM SBC would work well with NetBSD?

[Henry <nbsd4ever%gmail.com@localhost>]

I've been listening in, and I thank you all very much for your input.
I have 0 experience with an SBC, but want to move to a
low-power-consumption basic web and file server.  Because of the
battery options which would allow me to do without a UPS, I'm
seriously considering the olimex a20-onlinuxino-lime2.

Some questions from this newbie:
o can I create a NetBSD bootable micro SD card, or does one have to
use Debian or Android on these A-20 Olimex SBCs?
o can I hook up a serial concole via a standard RS232 cable?
o after the initial install of NetBSD, can I have the computer boot
from a USB (preferably C-type, but standard type okay)?  Or is it
better to just get a board with the eMMC flash memory option and boot
from that?
o is there a cookbook-kind of howto document on installing NetBSD on
ARM architecture SBCs?

Many TIA,

Henry
