NetBSD 1.1 is the first "full" release of NetBSD for the sun3,
|
||
|
|
including a full set of binaries. This binary distribution is
|
||
|
|
referred to elsewhere in this document by the name NetBSD/sun3.
|
||
|
|
This release offers improved stability and many new features.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
New features added since the 1.0 release include:
|
||
|
|
* Native boot programs for disk, network, and tape
|
||
|
|
* Automated installation tools (using a "miniroot")
|
||
|
|
* New SCSI driver supporting DMA, interrupts, and
|
||
|
|
disconnect/reselect with SCSI-2 devices (optional)
|
||
|
|
* Frame buffer drivers for bwtwo, cgtwo, and cgthree,
|
||
|
|
all compatible with SunOS and the X Window System
|
||
|
|
* Support for the Virtually Addressed Cache (VAC) on
|
||
|
|
Sun3/260 models (and vastly improved performance)
|
||
|
|
* SMD disk drivers -- almost (still need testing)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Old features (from 1.0 and earier) worth mentioning:
|
||
|
|
* SunOS 4.1 compatibility (runs most Sun3 applications)
|
||
|
|
* Supports most SCSI devices (CD-ROM, etc)
|
||
|
|
* Diskless boot capability
|
||
|
|
* Built-in kernel debugger
