Nice! Actually, I'm going to need the NetBSD port up and running in the
relatively near future.
A very useful thing to do is to list the known issues.
Even more useful would be to setup a set of failing shell scripts that
reproduces the issues, so that we can use them as tests.

I did not know of a v9fs version for NetBSD... Any link?
Actually, I don't care about neither 9p2000.U nor 9p2000.L.

I shouldn't need any hardware (a Xen domU should be enough), but in case
I'll write you when I'm ready to work on this.
Can you share links to the most updated sources for NetBSD?
