About NetBSD/playstation2
NetBSD/playstation2 is a port of NetBSD to the SONY PlayStation 2.
To boot the kernel, you will require a special boot disc from SONY. The PlayStation2 can not read CD-Rs. Currently, the only such disc available is the SONY Playstation 2 Linux distribution. This kit is now available worldwide. For more information, visit the official PlayStation2 Linux site. The PS2 Linux Japanese site is also of interest.
