Hi Jochen,
	Thanks for all your help.
I am quite prepared to loan my machine to somebody to help in getting it running, if that is what is needed. 
I am based in Leicestershire in the UK.

Hopefully somebody out there has "The Clue" that is needed to help.

Thanks Again,
		Andrew.

There is already support for the CPU, host- and ISA-bridge in port prep. All we need is some glue code to make this machine knowen to NetBSD.

OK. Interrupt routing trouble. Depending on the hardware there may be a chance to get this solved quite quick. 

I have done some work in that area of port-prep / port-ofppc, so I know a bit what is going on. But I am no kernel hacking expert, I am still a novice. (I still need to understand that interrupt handling stuff.) If someone with "The Clue" can get access to this machine in an developement environement it would be a matter of a few houres to get NetBSD running. At the moment I can't help you further. Sorry. Maybe a NetBSD kernel hacking guru is willing to volunteer and you can setup some remote console access for him?

Hmm. Don't know how to trace this.
