I've got a small problem. I have never been able to get NetBSD running in a
manner that I can use on my machine. It just seems so much different from
Linux, especially when it comes to the kernel. So, I need some help since
the NetBSD port for hpcmips is much further along than the linux one.

A) Can someone point me to a good reference for NetBSD?

B) Is it possible to configure all the hpcmips/netbsd stuff on an i386/linux
box?

Also, I am not afraid to recompile the software that I use. I build my own
XF4.0 and AbiWord.
