NetBSD/i386 _VER 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 is said to require 4M of RAM and 50M of disk
|
|
space, though we do not know of anyone running with a system quite
|
|
this minimal today. To install the entire system requires much more
|
|
disk space (the unpacked binary distribution, without sources,
|
|
requires at least 65M without counting space needed for swap space,
|
|
etc), 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
|

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;
|
|
only the AHA-152x and motherboards using this chip
|
|
are likely to be bootable, consequently.)
|
|
Adaptec AHA-2x4x[U][W] cards and some onboard PCI designs
|
|
using the AIC78X0 chip. There is a known problem
|
|
using this driver with AHA-2742 cards or AIC7770 or
|
|
AIC78[56]0 based embedded designs and multiple
|
|
targets, due to resource contention which is not
|
|
handled well by NetBSD's higher-level SCSI subsystem.
|
|
Adaptec AHA-3940[U][W] cards [b]
|
|
Buslogic 54x (Adaptec AHA-154x clones)
|
|
BusLogic 445, 74x, 9xx (But not the new "FlashPoint" series
|
|
of BusLogic SCSI adapters)

|
|
NCR/SYM 8125 (and its many clones; be careful, some
|
|
of these cards have a jumper to set
|
|
the PCI interrupt; leave it on INT A!)

|
|
the SYM 8125)

|
[NOTE: The WD7000 driver is not present on the "small"
|

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.)

Drivers for hardware marked with "[*]" are NOT included on the
|
|
distribution floppies. Except as noted above, all drivers are present
|
|
on all 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Support for devices marked with "[+]" IS included in the "generic" kernels,
|
|
although it is not in the kernels which are on the distribution floppies.
|
|
|
|
Support for devices marked with "[b]" requires BIOS support for PCI-PCI
|
|
bridging on your motherboard. Most reasonably modern Pentium motherboards
|
|
have this support, or can acquire it via a BIOS upgrade.
|
|
|
|
Hardware the we do NOT currently support, but get many questions
|
|
about:
|
|
AMD PCscsi SCSI host adapters (though the PCnet portion of the
|
|
PCnet-SCSI works fine)
|
|
Intel EtherExpress 100 Fast Ethernet adapters.
|
|
Multiprocessor Pentium and Pentium Pro systems. (Though they should
|
|
run fine using one processor only.)
|
|
NCR 5380-based SCSI host adapters.
|
|
PCI WD-7000 SCSI host adapters.
|
|
PCMCIA ("PC Card") devices, including some miniature "IDE" hard disks.
|
|
[Note: some higly experimental PCMCIA support is available on our
|
|
FTP sites]
|
|
QIC-40 and QIC-80 tape drives. (Those are the tape drives
|
|
that connect to the floppy disk controller.)
|
|
|
|
We are planning future support for many of these devices.
|
|
|
|
To be detected by the distributed kernels, the devices must
|
|
be configured as follows:
