*grrr* ;-) A better approach is to port NetBSD to be hosted on a Mach mk and  
port the mk to a new hardware.  Otherwise we will most likely never see  
efficient multiprocessing support.

Just because NetBSD is a standalone kernel, doesn't mean you can't rip its  
guts out and mutilate it to be an OS server on top of a Mach mk.
