I assume it's ARCIN v6 - no I haven't got it working.
I've been downloading many new kernels, but none of the test or cur ones
worked. Upon booting up RiscBSD (1.3alpha kernel), it spends quite a while
doing something with the hard drive (is this normal?), but when it tries
to load FSCK, jibberish about ARM registers appears on the screen.
