I may very well be wrong, but I don't see how it is going to be possible to take an operating system, such as NetBSD, that is very critical about timing as it is (owning the entire CPU), and run that UNDER another operating system that is multiple times SLOWER... I would be interested in seeing some final specifications if you figure out a way for this to work.
