It seems to work fine on my SS4. There are three items that probably won't
make it into the 1.2 release though.
The on-chip cache(s) in the microsparc-IIs probably aren't enabled.
The ethernet cable selection is a bit funky.
I don't what the state of the tcx frame buffer support is.
#2 will be fixed immediately after the release AFAIK.
I'm not ready to put NetBSD on my SS4's system disk, but I will net boot it
and thrash it from time to time.
Cheers,
Lloyd
