NetBSD/i386 1.0 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 requires 4M of RAM and 40M of disk space. 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 AHA-154xA, -B, -C, and -CF [only on kcaha floppy]
|
|
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,
|
|
and many do not.)
|
|
Buslogic 54x [AHA-154x clones; only on kcaha floppy]
|
|
Buslogic 445, 74x, 9xx [only on kcbt floppy]
|
|
NCR 53C810 PCI SCSI host adapter
|
|
Ultrastor 14f, 34f, and (possibly) 24f
|
|
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.)
|
|

|
|

Tape drives:

|
|
compatible) tape drives [*]
|

|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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, and AHA-294x families).
|
|
Intel EtherExpress Ethernet boards.
|
|
NCR 5380-based SCSI host adapters.
|
|
PCMCIA devices.
|
|
QIC-40 and QIC-80 tape drives. (Those are the tape drives
|
|
that connect to the floppy disk controller.)
|
|
WD-7000 SCSI host adapters.
|
|
|
|
We are planning future support for most of these devices.
|
|
|
|
To be detected by the distributed kernels, the devices must
|
|
be configured as follows:
