NetBSD/mac68k 1.2 runs on several of the older Macintosh computers.
|
|
4MB of RAM should be sufficient to boot and the system can probably
|
|
be squeezed onto a 40MB hard disk by leaving off a package or two.
|
|
To actually do much compiling or anything more interesting than
|
|
booting, at least 8MB of RAM and more disk space is recommended.
|
|
About 60MB will be necessary to install all of the NetBSD 1.2 binary
|
|
distribution (note that this does not count swap space!). Much more
|
|
disk space is required to install the source and objects as well (about
|
|
another 200-300MB as a guess).
|
|
|
|
Supported models:
|
|
Mac II, IIx, IIcx, IIci, SE/30, IIsi, IIvx, IIvi,
|
|
Performa 550, Performa 600,
|
|
LC III, LC 520,
|
|
MacTV
|
|
|
|
Supported devices on all of the above systems include:
|
|
Internal SCSI bus and most SCSI tapes, hard drives, and CD-ROMs
|
|
Internal sound--enough to beep on some machines, anyway
|
|
Most basic NuBUS video cards (there have been some
|
|
problems with some 24-bit color cards)
|
|
Both internal serial ports
|
|
ADB keyboards and mice
|
|
Ethernet cards based on the Natl. Semiconductor 8390
|
|
(Asante, Apple, and a few others--problems still
|
|
with ethernet and many NuBus video cards).
|
|
|
|
If your 68030 system is not listed above, it may be because of a problem
|
|
with accessing the ADB and it may still work with a serial console.
|
|
Some of the known ones in this category:
|
|
Classic II (Performa 200?)
|
|
PowerBook 145, PowerBook 160
|
|
|
|
What isn't supported, but often asked about:
|
|
68040-based Macs. Work is in progress on these, but it is slow-
|
|
going. This requires a new scsi driver and a new
|
|
ethernet driver. When something is available, it will
|
|
be announced on port-mac68k@netbsd.org.
|
|
PowerPC-based Macs. This will be separate from this port.
|
|
The PowerPC is a much different processor as is much of
|
|
the hardware inside these machines. If you are
|
|
