for info about inferno on the ds: http://code.google.com/p/inferno-ds/,
remember check the download tab for ready to run kernel images.
an excerpt from the README [1] about the status of the project:

	"The port [1] is starting to be usable,
	that means that limbo programs (dis code) runs on Inferno's Dis VM [2].

	Some of the hardware bits [3] that are working are:
	        - both lcd screens (including the touch).
	        - access to spi devices (arm7): touch, rtc, firmware, power, mic, ...
	        - mpu and caches are working.
	        - fifos for processor communication between arm7 and arm9.
	        - audio support (play and record).

	Still the port is far from finished, so the port is a WIP
	(work in progress) thing some of the bits missing are:
	        - sd card storage
	        - wifi networking"

Storage is working also, so the next big thing missing is wifi networking.
