currently expects the ROM monitor to be the "autoboot
|
|
monitor" of Oct/Nov 1991. It includes support to set up auto booting
|
|
of NetBSD, including a secondary boot program that the autoboot monitor
|
|
will load that in turn loads the NetBSD kernel from a NetBSD file system.
|
|
Source and ROM images of the autoboot monitor are located at

Most of the pc532 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.
