Hello list.

In case it helps anyone, I have tried NetBSD 10.0RC1 on ER-4 and
ERLite-3 and did not observe any blocker problems.  Specifically, ER-4
testing included both the ready-to-go image and the installer.  The
latter still suffers the old problem of malformed DOS MBR, but BPF (and
consequently the install-time DHCP client) now work.  Anyway, the ER-4
was able to build a number of its usual packages from pkgsrc 2023Q3 (the
largest are CMake, git, Perl and Python), which are now running on
netbsd-mips64.tcpdump.org [1].  ERLite-3 was only briefly tested; for
what it's worth, NetBSD boots and looks working.

Cheers.
