NetBSD != Linux
You’ll learn a lot about kernel development and that probably transfers to
linux, but you’ll be working on the NetBSD kernel. Besides reading the
documentation for a syscall, you shouldn’t need to touch linux code a lot.

A first step is to identify syscalls that currently aren’t implemented.
- you could run linux binaries on NetBSD and see if they work
- you could compile a list of syscalls that are emulated on NetBSD and compare
it with a list of syscalls on linux
Next, you’d have to decide which syscall(s) you want to implement based on
- what interests you
- what can be emulated on NetBSD (e.g. because the syscall is too linux
specific)
- your skill level

There has been a lot of interest in this project, I can also advise you to look
at other messages on the mailing lists and the IRC logs.
