+ How to Install Open vSwitch on NetBSD
+ =====================================
+
+On NetBSD, you might want to install requirements from pkgsrc.
+In that case, you need at least the following packages.
+
+ automake
+ libtool-base
+ gmake
+ python27
+ py27-xml
+ pkg_alternatives
+
+Some components (eg. ovsdbmonitor) have additional requirements.
+(See INSTALL)
+
+Assuming you are running NetBSD/amd64 6.1.2, you can download and
+install pre-built binary packages as the following.
+(You might get some warnings about minor version mismatch. Don't care.)
+
+ # PKG_PATH=http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/amd64/6.1.2/All/
+ # export PKG_PATH
+ # pkg_add automake libtool-base gmake python27 py27-xml pkg_alternatives
+
+NetBSD's /usr/bin/make is not GNU make. GNU make is installed as
+/usr/pkg/bin/gmake by the above mentioned 'gmake' package.
+
+As all executables installed with pkgsrc are placed in /usr/pkg/bin/
+directory, it might be a good idea to add it to your PATH.
+
+Open vSwitch on NetBSD is currently "userspace switch" implementation
+in the sense described in INSTALL.userspace and PORTING.
