NetBSD/mvme68k _VER runs on Motorola MVME147 boards.
The minimal configuration requires 4M of RAM and ~100MB of disk space.
To install the entire system requires much more disk space (approx.
200MB additional space is necessary for full sources. Double that if you
want to recompile it all!). To run X (clients only) 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 needed
root (/) 20M 12M
user (/usr) 100M 80M
swap (2 or 3 * RAM) 8M
Anything else is up to you!
Note that the mvme68k installation procedure uses a `miniroot' image
which is placed into the swap area of the disk. The swap partition
must be large enough to hold this miniroot image (> 6Mb).
The following VME147 hardware is supported:
Serial ports (RS232):
built-in console, tty01, tty02 and tty03
Parallel port:
On-board centronics style printer port
Network interfaces:
On-board Lance Ethernet (le)
SCSI: (Most SCSI disks, tapes, CD-ROMs, etc.)
On-board wd33c93 SCSI bus interface chip (async only for now).
Miscellaneous:
Battery-backed real-time clock.
VMEbus RAM cards.
If it's not on this list, there is no support for it in this release.
