Read somewhere that it is relatively easy to adapt NetBSD's drivers into a custom kernel... maybe Serenity folks can go that way? Device drivers are huge obstacle for any fledgling OS.

I believe it. Their libc is remarkably tidy, I've copied stuff out of it several times for various projects. Can't speak for the drivers, though.
