Hi Frank

That link would be very helpful. Without it, many people may abandon 
NetBSD on this popular hardware platform at the first difficulty they 
encounter. We need to attract new users to NetBSD, and the Raspberry Pi 
would be an excellent place to start. The information at 
https://wiki.netbsd.org/ports/evbarm/raspberry_pi/
  is better than was before, but I think it is still not completely 
clear.(it is clear when you know what to do and have installed and 
upgraded it once, but for the new user it may be frustrating).

Nice to see it is working fine with the official PS. I am also using it.
