About NetBSD/playstation2  NetBSD/playstation2 is a port of NetBSD to the SONY PlayStation 2. To boot the kernel, you will require a special boot disc from SONY. The PlayStation 2 can not read CD-R/DVD-Rs. Currently, the only such disc available is the SONY Playstation 2 Linux distribution. This kit is now available worldwide. For more information, visit the official PlayStation 2 Linux site. The PS2 Linux Japanese site is also of interest.
