NetBSD/i386 1.1 runs on ISA (AT-Bus), EISA, PCI, and VL-bus systems
|
|
with 386-family processors, with or without math coprocessors. It
|
|
does NOT support MCA systems, such as some IBM PS/2 systems. The
|
|
minimal configuration is said to require 4M of RAM and 50M of disk space,
|
|
though we do not know of anyone running with a system quite this minimal today.
|
|
To install the entire system requires much more disk space, and to run X
|
|
or compile the system, more RAM is recommended. (4M of RAM will
|
|
actually allow you to run X and/or compile, but it won't be speedy.
|
|
Note that until you have around 16M of RAM, getting more RAM is more
|
|
important than getting a faster CPU.)
|
|
|
|
Supported devices include:
|
|
Floppy controllers.
|
|
MFM, ESDI, IDE, and RLL hard disk controllers.
|
|
SCSI host adapters:
|
|
[Adaptec host adapters only on kcadp floppy]
|
|
Adaptec AHA-154xA, -B, -C, and -CF
|
|
Adaptec AHA-174x
|
|
Adaptec AIC-6260 and AIC-6360 based boards, including
|
|
the Adaptec AHA-152x and the SoundBlaster SCSI
|
|
host adapter. (Note that you cannot boot from
|
|
these boards if they do not have a boot ROM;
|
|
only the AHA-152x and motherboards using this chip
|
|
are likely to be bootable, consequently.)
|
|
Adaptec AHA-294x[W] cards and some onboard PCI designs using
|
|
the AIC7870 chip. This driver does *not* currently
|
|
work with non-PCI AIC-7xxx boards or the Adaptec 3940.
|
|
Buslogic 54x (Adaptec AHA-154x clones; driver on kcadp floppy)
|
|
|
|
[Other host adapters only on kcoth floppy]
|
|
BusLogic 445, 74x, 9xx (But not the new "FlashPoint" series
|
|
of BusLogic SCSI adapters)
|
|
Symbios Logic (NCR) 53C8xx-based PCI SCSI host adapters
|
|
Ultrastor 14f, 34f, and (possibly) 24f
|
|
Seagate/Future Domain ISA SCSI adapter cards, including
|
|
ST01/02
|
|
Future Domain TMC-885
|
|
Future Domain TMC-950
|
|
|
|
MDA, CGA, VGA, SVGA, and HGC Display Adapters. (Note that not
|
|
all of the display adapters NetBSD/i386 can work with
|
|
are supported by X. See the XFree86 FAQ for more
|
|
information.)

Miscellaneous:
|
|
|
|
Drivers for hardware marked with "[*]" are NOT included on the
|
|
distribution floppies. Except as noted above, all other drivers are
|
|
present on both kernel-copy disks. Also, at the present time, the
|
|
distributed kernels support only one SCSI host adapter per machine.
|
|
NetBSD normally allows more, though, so if you have more than one, you
|
|
can use all of them by compiling a custom kernel once NetBSD is
|
|
installed.
|
|
|
|
Support for devices marked with "[+]" IS included in the "generic" kernels,
|
|
although it is not in the kernels which are on the distribution floppies.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hardware the we do NOT currently support, but get many questions
|
|
about:
|
|
Adaptec AIC-7770-based SCSI host adapters (including the
|
|
Adaptec AHA-274x, AHA-284x families).
|
|
NCR 5380-based SCSI host adapters.
|
|
APM power management -- if your system supports it, turn it off!
|
|
PCMCIA ("PC Card") devices, including some miniature "IDE" hard disks.
|
|
QIC-40 and QIC-80 tape drives. (Those are the tape drives
|
|
that connect to the floppy disk controller.)
|
|
WD-7000 SCSI host adapters.
|
|
PCI-PCI bridges and cards which include them, such as the AHA-394x
|
|
SCSI host adapter and some DC21x4x-based multi-Ethernet cards.
|
|
3Com 3c59x series PCI Ethernet and Fast Ethernet adapters.
|
|
Multiprocessor Pentium and Pentium Pro systems. (Though they should
|
|
run fine using one processor only.)
|
|
Intel EtherExpress 100 Fast Ethernet adapters.
|
|
Digital DEFPA PCI FDDI adapters (support barely missed this release;
|
|
it works in other ports, and will work in this one in the
|
|
next release)
|
|
|
|
We are planning future support for many of these devices.
|
|
|
|
To be detected by the distributed kernels, the devices must
|
|
