I may have said this here before.

Anyone interested in porting NetBSD to NeXT hardware might want to take a
look at the sources to AT&T Plan 9 (which was ported to NeXTstations
[mono only]) as these contain info for driving the hardware. On the other
hand you could just try asking NeXT for this same info - not sure what they
would say though.

I would like to do this myself but am not in a position to give much time to
running such a project.
