A word of warning, though: the above document is almost entirely irrelevant for rump kernels since pretty much all of the details at this level are different; from configuration to building to interrupts to the console. After all, a rump kernel is not an OS. That said, it is an excellent tutorial on how to port NetBSD to an ARM board (wish it had existed back when I wrote the support for evbarm/viper).
