[rescue] DG Aviion 300 rescue?

[Zach Lowry]

Might I suggest working on NetBSD? Apparently there's already a work in 
progress, and I'm sure any help would be appreciated.

I picked up a Sun386i, a NEC RiscServer 4200, and some other machines 
just for this purpose, and I'm slowly getting around to working on 
them.
