\*V runs on a

computer.
It supports a subset of the
1999-01-13 10:30:01 +03:00
.Dq standard
hardware to date.
This is defined as:

.Nx*M
currently expects the ROM monitor to be the
.Dq autoboot monitor
of Oct/Nov 1991.
It includes support to set up auto booting of
.Nx ,
including a secondary boot program that the autoboot monitor
will load that in turn loads the
.Nx
kernel from a
.Nx
file system.

Source and ROM images of the autoboot monitor are located at

.Pp
Most of the \*M specific development of
.Nx*M
was done on a machine with 8 MB of memory.
It should run with 4 MB of memory although it may be slower.
