One of the things that always puzzled me about embedded *nix
of any description, is how does it play with really small
CPU architectures that don't have a proper hardware MMU.
I'm thinking more along the lines of 16-bit microcontrollers,
rather than, let's say, embedded 80386 chips.

Does NetBSD handle that gracefully?
