NetBSD/sun3x _VER runs on most Sun3x machines, including:
|
|
3/80
|
|
3/460/470/480
|
|
|
|
NetBSD/sun3x _VER does not run on the Sun3 class of machines.
|
|
For NetBSD support for any other Sun3 machine, see the NetBSD/sun3
|
|
distribution.
|
|
|
|
The minimal configuration requires 4M of RAM and about 80MB of disk
|
|
space. To install the entire system requires much more disk space
|
|
(approx. 100MB additional space is necessary for full sources).
|
|
To run X or compile the system, more RAM is recommended. Good
|
|
performance requires 8MB of RAM, or 16 MB when running the
|
|
X Window System.
|
|
|
|
Here is a table of recommended HD partition sizes for a full install:
|
|
partition: advise, with X, needed, with X
|
|
root (/) 20M 20M 15M 15M
|
|
user (/usr) 95M 125M 75M 105M
|
|
swap ----- 2M for every M ram -----
|
|
local (/usr/local) up to you
|
|
|
|
As you may note the recommended size of /usr is 20M greater than
|
|
needed. This is to leave room for a kernel source and compile tree as
|
|
you will probably want to compile your own kernel. (GENERIC is large
|
|
and bulky to accommodate all people).
|
|
|
|
Note that the sun3x installation procedure uses a `miniroot' image
|
|
which is placed into the swap area of the disk. The swap partition
|
|
must be at least as large as the miniroot image (8MB).
|
|
|
|
The following Sun3x hardware is supported:
|
|
|
|
Serial ports (RS232):
|
|
built-in ttya, ttyb
|
|
|
|
Video adapters:
|
|
bwtwo
|
|
|
|
Network interfaces:
|
|
On-board Lance Ethernet
|
|
On-board or VME Intel Ethernet
|
|
|
|
SCSI: (Most SCSI disks, tapes, CD-ROMs, etc.)
|
|
On-board "esp" (SCSI-3)
|
|
VME "si" (SCSI-3) board
|
|
|
|
Floppy:
|
|
On-board floppy drive controller and floppy drive.
|
|
|
|
Input devices:
|
|
Sun keyboard and mouse
|
|
|
|
Miscellaneous:
|
|
Battery-backed real-time clock.
|
|
|
|
If it's not on this list, there is no support for it in this release.
