NetBSD/next68k switches to ELF

Chuck Silvers has committed changes to convert the NetBSD/next68k port to ELF. With the COMPAT_AOUT_M68K kernel option, all your old a.out binaries should still work. Note that a.out versions of ifconfig(8) and route(8) will not work due to some structure alignment problems.
No full NetBSD/next68k ELF snapshot has been made available yet, but you can grab the NetBSD/sun3 ELF snapshot at:

The NetBSD/sun3 ELF snapshot will do fine for userland, and Chuck has put a NetBSD/next68k ELF kernel and boot program at:
