Hardware supported by NetBSD/vax _VER includes (but may not be limited to):
CPU types:
VAX 11/750, VAX 11/78{0,5}, VAX 8200/8250/8300/8350,
VAX 8600/8650, MicroVAX II, MicroVAX III,
MicroVAX 3600/3800/3900, MicroVAX 3300/3400/3500,
MicroVAX 2000/VAXstation 2000 and some VAXstation 3100.
Networking:
DEUNA/DELUA Unibus ethernet, DEQNA/DELQA Q22 bus ethernet
and LANCE chip where available.
Serial lines:
DHU11/DHV11/DL11/DLV11/DZ11/DZQ11/DZV11 Unibus/Q22 bus
asynchronous lines and DZ11-compatible lines on
VAXstations.
Disks:
UDA50 Unibus MSCP controller, KDA50/RQDX1/2/3 Q22 bus
MSCP controller, KDB50 BI-bus MSCP controller, MFM and
SCSI controllers on VAXstations, RP04/05/06/07 and
RM02/03/05/80 Massbus disks, and Console RL02 on
VAX 8600. Some third-party controllers are also
known to work, other do not.
Tapes:
TMSCP on Q22 bus (TK50/70), SCSI tapes on VAXstations.
The minimal configuration requires 2M of RAM and ~40MB of disk space,
but the installation requires at least 4MB RAM and you probably do
not want to run with anything less than that.
Here is a table of recommended HD partition sizes for a full install:
partition: advise needed
root (/) 20M 10M
user (/usr) 80M 45M
swap (2 or 3 * RAM)
Anything else is up to you!
