Our local chapter of ACM (association of COmputer Machinery, a bunch of cs
geeks mostly :)) has got ahold of a BBN Butterfly, which contains 32
motorola 68k processors... (68020 I believe)
 Is running NetBSD on this thing a viable option? 
I know it's been ported to the 68k architecture... but will it run on a 32
processor machine?
