Ever since I realized that the

was the best way to construct a modern general purpose operating system
kernel, I have been performing experiments by running unmodified
NetBSD kernel drivers in rump kernels in various environments

pointers to rpi docs 2013Q1
We get a lot of comments asking for tips on using the raspberry pi so I thought I would point out some docs:
evbarm/rpi wiki docs
An example of the rpi.img can be found here:

Initial Kyua import done
I am very happy to announce that the initial import of Kyua into the NetBSD source tree is complete! I am sure there are some rough edges and here is where you come into play.
First of all, let me clarify that all the integration changes are gated
by the MKKYUA build setting, which still defaults to no. Unless you

Some years ago I wrote about the possibility to load and use
standard NetBSD kernel modules in rump kernels on i386 and amd64.
With the recent developments in buildrump.sh and the improved
ability to host rump kernels on non-NetBSD platforms, I decided to try
loading a binary NetBSD kernel module into a rump kernel compiled for
