$NetBSD: hardware,v 1.4 1998/01/09 18:47:33 perry Exp $ NetBSD/sun3 _VER runs on most Sun3 machines, including: 3/50, 3/60, 3/110 3/75, 3/150, 3/160 3/260, 3/280, 3/E NetBSD/sun3 _VER does not run on the Sun3/80 (sun3x class) but that is presently handled as a separate distribution. Use NetBSD/sun3x for Sun3/80 and Sun3/470 support. The minimal configuration requires 4M of RAM and about 80MB of disk space. To install the entire system requires much more disk space (approx. 100MB additional space is necessary for full sources). To run X or compile the system, more RAM is recommended. Good performance requires 8MB of RAM, or 16 MB when running the X Window System. Here is a table of recommended HD partition sizes for a full install: partition: advise, with X, needed, with X root (/) 20M 20M 15M 15M user (/usr) 95M 125M 75M 105M swap ----- 2M for every M ram ----- local (/usr/local) up to you As you may note the recommended size of /usr is 20M greater than needed. This is to leave room for a kernel source and compile tree as you will probably want to compile your own kernel. (GENERIC is large and bulky to accommodate all people). Note that the sun3 installation procedure uses a `miniroot' image which is placed into the swap area of the disk. The swap partition must be at least as large as the miniroot image (8MB). The following Sun3 hardware is supported: Serial ports (RS232): built-in ttya, ttyb Video adapters: bwtwo, cgtwo, cgfour Network interfaces: On-board Lance Ethernet On-board or VME Intel Ethernet Sun3/E SCSI/Ethernet board SCSI: (Most SCSI disks, tapes, CD-ROMs, etc.) On-board "si" (SCSI-3) VME "si" (SCSI-3) board Sun3/E SCSI/Ethernet board SMD Disks: (the big, heavy ones 8^) Xylogics 450/451 Xylogics 753/7053 Input devices: Sun keyboard and mouse Miscellaneous: Battery-backed real-time clock. If it's not on this list, there is no support for it in this release.
