|
|
.
|
|
.Nx*M
|
|
\*V runs on most of the
|
|
.Tn DEC
|
|
Alpha PCI platforms, on all
|
|
of the TURBOChannel models, on the high end 8200 and 8400 systems,
|
|
and on the 4100 series.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The SRM console is required.
|
|
This
|
|
console can be distinguished from the ARC console (which is used to
|
|
boot
|
|
.Tn "Windows NT" )
|
|
by the fact that it has a command line interface,
|
|
rather than a menu-driven interface.
|
|
The SRM prompt is
|
|
.Sq Li \*>\*>\*> .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Some platforms have both the SRM console and
|
|
the ARC console, and can switch between them, and other platforms have
|
|
only one type of console loaded at any one time.
|
|
If your system comes up with the ARC firmware, it may be possible
|
|
to switch it to SRM with a menu or
|
|
to download SRM from
|
|
.Lk ftp://gatekeeper.dec.com/pub/Digital/Alpha/firmware/index.html .
|
|
You may want to buy a firmware update CD from Compaq Computer Corporation.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
More information on supported platforms and devices can be found on the
|
|
\*M port web pages at
|
|
.Lk http://www.NetBSD.org/ .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A basic system will fit on a 200 MB disk (including swap) without too
|
|
much difficulty, but you will probably want at least 500 MB of disk
|
|
to have any level of comfort.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Although
|
|
it is actually possible to boot and install
|
|
.Nx*M
|
|
in only
|
|
16 MB of RAM, you will want to have at least 32 MB.
|
|
.
|
|
We support add-in devices on the PCI, ISA, EISA and TurboChannel buses.
|
|
Because
|
|
.Nx
|
|
has an extremely machine-independent device driver
|
|
system, many device drivers are the same as used in other ports that
|
|
use the same bus.
|
|
For example, the
|
|
.Em de
|
|
network card driver is shared
|
|
by the i386 and \*M ports.
|
|
Some drivers on inspection appear as if they will work on the
|
|
\*M but have not been tested because that hardware was not available to
|
|
.Nx
|
|
testers; these are marked as
|
|
.Em UNTESTED
|
|
below.
|
|
If you have one of these devices, and it does work,
|
|
please get in touch with
|
|
.Mt port-\*M-maintainer@NetBSD.org
|
|
and let us know that it works.
|
|
If it doesn't work, do the same thing and we can probably fix it pretty easily.

Note that some devices, especially ISA-based devices, have to have
|
|
certain settings set properly for the install and
|
|
.Li GENERIC
|
|
kernels to detect them.
|
|
(Once installed, you can always rebuild your own kernel
|
|
to detect them anywhere you wish, of course.)
