NetBSD/Sun3 Binary Snapshot
This FTP directory contains a binary snapshot of NetBSD/Sun3.
The NetBSD/sun3 port runs on most Sun3 machines, including:
Sun3/{50,60,110,160,260}
Devices currently supported include:
Intel Ether (ie), on-board or VME
Lance Ether (le), on-board
SCSI (sd,st,...), on-board or VME
keyboard/display console
serial port (ttya/ttyb) console
Other Features:
Generic kernel supports root on: sd[0123], ie0, le0
Kernel debugger included (ddb)
Runs SunOS binaries (see sparc sun shared lib notes)
There's still a lot left to do (see doc/sun3/TODO).
Before using the files in this directory, you should start by
unpacking doc.shar and reading all the files it contains.
Suggested reading order is:
doc/sun3/README
doc/sun3/STATUS
doc/sun3/INSTALL
doc/sun3/SUP
doc/sun3/BUILDING
doc/sun3/TODO
To use this, all you need to do it unpack everything onto the
disk that will be used for root and usr, which can be either a
real disk or some part of your NFS server.
REMEMBER: run dev/MAKEDEV after you unpack things!
(cd dev ; MAKEDEV std)
If you have any questions or comments about this port please
send mail to the list: <port-sun3@netbsd.org>
If you'd like to help, send me mail at <gwr@netbsd.org>
so I can coordinate efforts.
Enjoy!
