+      Avoid deeper levels because they do not render well.

+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-six
+- py27-xml
+- pkg_alternatives
+
+Some components have additional requirements. Refer to :doc:`general` for more
+information.
+
+Assuming you are running NetBSD/amd64 6.1.2, you can download and install
+pre-built binary packages as the following::
+
+    $ 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-six py27-xml \
+        pkg_alternatives
+
+.. note::
+  You might get some warnings about minor version mismatch. These can be safely
+  ignored.
+
+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 :doc:`userspace` and the `porting guide`.
