Tomorrow I'm going to be bringing along a Soekris net4501 and an ATM to
ethernet router.

Both can PXE boot, and I'm hoping to be setting up OpenBSD on the
Soekris, and finding out if it's even possible to boot NetBSD on the ATM
router. It's based on an embedded Motorola chip, and it seems some
Japanese guy once ported NetBSD to something in the same family, so
there's potentially some hope there, but maybe it lacks an MMU, in which
case most hope is lost :)

I'll bring power cables, serial cables and ethernet cables. Hopefully
there'll be some equipment there capable of acting as a terminal and
something to do the DHCP and PXE side of things...
