NetBSD/sparc64 \*V runs on the following classes of machines:

|
.Bl -bullet -compact
|
|
. It
|
|
Sbus-based UltraSPARC systems (the Ultra1, Ultra1E, Ultra2, Ultra2E)
|
|

|
|
PCI-based UltraSPARC systems (known to work on the Ultra5, Ultra10, Ultra30
|
|
and Ultra250, and may work on many other systems)

NetBSD/sparc64 \*V does

.Em not

run on these machines (yet):

.Bl -bullet -compact

|

Enterprise Systems (Ex000, E10000)
|

.Pp
|
|
The minimal configuration requires 16M of RAM and ~60M 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. (NetBSD with 4M of
|
|
RAM feels like Solaris with 4M of RAM.) Note that until you have
|
|
around 16M of RAM, getting more RAM is more important than getting a
|
|
faster CPU.)

There are a large number of untested PCI drivers that have never
|
|
been tested on UltraSPARC PCI systems, that may "just work".

|
.Pp
|
|
[*] Sbus ethernet drivers current have a problem with interrupts and
|
|
do not perform properly except in extreme low usage conditions, rendering
|
|
them effectively unusable.

Access to devices on the secondary PCIIDE channel currently do not work.
