NetBSD support Alphaserver 300 / 400

[Jan Lentfer <Jan.Lentfer%web.de@localhost>]

Dear List,

first of all: Hello. I just subscribed to this list - after sucessfully 
installing NetBSD to a PWS500 with a KZPAC/Mylex Raid Controller. I have 
some minor experience with the prep port, installed that on a RS/6000 
43P some years ago, but that machine has been sold some time ago. I have 
been working with FreeBSD a lot (used to be port maintainer for lam-mpi 
(parallel computing) and treepuzzle (biological software)). I came here 
because NetBSD seems to be the last free OS paying real attention to the 
Alpha architecture - after FreeBSD skipping it totally and Debian 
seeming to have trouble to get the next release finished on the Alpha.

So first off, what can I contribute to actually keep the development of 
NetBSD/Alpha ongoing? Is just running -current enough or are there more 
things that can be done (I am no developer, though, but quite able to 
patch, compile, etc ....).

Second question: Will NetBSD run on the Alphaserver 300 or 400? I could 
not find it on the supported hardware list.

Kind Regards,

Jan Lentfer
