thorpej b5fd5d5727 Minor tweak to the pv_table management in the Hibler-derived m68k pmaps: The head of the list is now a pv_header, which contains the first pv_entry as well as a 16-bit attributes field (replaces the pmap_attributes array plus the pv_entry::pv_flags field) as a 16-bit count of caller-specified cache-inhibited mappings. Tested on hp300 (shared pmap_motorola.c), changes to atari and amiga copies are purely mechanical.		2009-08-26 00:30:01 +00:00

$NetBSD: README,v 1.3 2005/12/11 12:17:04 christos Exp $

This is a port of NetBSD to the FIC8234 VME processor board, made by the
swiss company CES (Geneve). These boards are (or have been) popular in
high energy physics data acquisition (think of CERN!). See
http://www.ces.ch/Products/CPUs/FIC8234/FIC8234.html
for some technical data.

The highlights:
- MC68040 processor at 25 MHz (optional dual-processor)
- 8 or 32 MByte RAM
- 2 serial ports on Z85c30
- 79c900 (ILACC) ethernet
- 53c710 SCSI

The port is quite rudimentary at the moment. The kernel is started out of
a running OS-9 system. SCSI support is not present yet, so it only works
diskless with NFS (or ramdisk - not tested) root.
It is good enough for multiuser, self-hosting etc. however.

To start it:
- make OS image by "objcopy --output-target=binary netbsd <imagename>"
- load image to physical address 0x20100000 (RAM start + 1M)
- jump to 0x20100400
