Does NetBSD actually work for the RiscPC ?

Hi there, I'm struggling a bit here on getting NetBSD to install on a StrongARM RiscPC ... the main trouble is the horrible documentation :-( I've got the NetBSD 3.0 CD and I've printed out the INSTALL.PS file, and I've even read as far as section "Running bb_riscbsd" ... and this is where I get stuck .. what is "bb_riscbsd" ?!? Then there is a "!BtNetBSD" ... that just locks up my machine with a "Bye from RISC OS" message and also "Boot32" gives me the same message. Is NetBSD for Acorn32 just a cruel joke to tempt me ? :-( Or am I better of just binning this RiscPC ? I was quite hoping to have it as a light weight unixish machine as I don't want to spend money on getting RISC OS 4 ROMs. Any kind souls able to help out ? Thanks Mark PS I forgot to mention I had to rename the CD so that it would even be accepted by RISC OS, don't make life easy do they ? :-)
