RE: Workpad Z50 RAM

I believe our friend accidentally typo-ed the "P" key in place of the "O" for "OS," but that's just my guess.

What would you put on this image? I've been building 4.0 packages on the z50 with distccd to mooch resources off of another computer, but it's still painfully slow :P

It's really not that hard to install it yourself: you can do it just with one CF, but I had to do a lot of reading in order to figure it out (and I suppose that's part of the fun). I've been mulling over whether or not to write a doc myself for a
colleague who has a spare z50 lying around and is interested in messing
with NetBSD.
