Hello,

Oops!  It's NetBSD/acorn26.  There's also /arm32, /hpcarm,
/evbarm and /acorn32, which supports the RISC PC. Like their
8-bit ancestors, you can add a second processor that doesn't
have to match the first: you can have one StrongARM and one
x86 chip for example. I wonder if /i386 & /acorn32 could run
at the same time...
