NetBSD/amiga 1.2 runs on any Amiga that has a 68020 or better CPU with
|
|
some form of FPU and MMU, and on DraCos which still have a CIA.
|
|
|
|
The minimal configuration requires 4M of RAM and about 65M 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. (4M of
|
|
RAM will actually allow you to compile, however it won't be speedy. X
|
|
really isn't usable on a 4M system.)
|
|
|
|
Here is a table of recommended HD partition sizes for a full install:
|
|
partition: advise, with X, needed, with X
|
|
root (/) 20M 20M 15M 15M
|
|
user (/usr) 75M 110M 55M 90M
|
|
swap ----- 2M for every M ram -----
|
|
local (/local) up to you
|
|
|
|
|
|
As you may note the recommended size of /usr is 20M greater than
|
|
needed. This is to leave room for a kernel source and compile tree as
|
|
you will probably want to compile your own kernel. (GENERIC is large
|
|
and bulky to accommodate all people).
|
|
|
|
If you only have 4M of fast memory, you should make your swap partition
|
|
larger, as your system will be doing much more swapping.

If its not on the above lists, there is no support for it in this

|
release. Especially (but this is an incomplete list), there is no

|
driver for:

|
|
|
Cyberstorm SCSI option, Blizzard IV SCSI, Blizzard 2060 SCSI,
|
|
Ferret SCSI, Oktagon SCSI.
|
|
|
|
Known problems with some hardware:
|
|
|
|
*) the Emplant SCSI adapter has been reported by a party to
|
|
hang after doing part of the installation without problems.
|
|
|
|
**) Fastlane SCSI is reported to show data errors and hangs at
|
|
least when used with multiple devices on the bus. This might
|
|
be a problem with any FAS board.
|
|
|
|
***) SCSI scanner support is machine independent, so it should
|
|
work, but hasn't been tested yet on most Amiga configurations.
|
|
There are reports that the Mustek and HP Scanjet hang if
|
|
accessed from the A3000. This might apply to other
|
|
33C93-Adapters, too.
|
|
|
|
****) Our floppy driver doesn't notice when mounted floppies are
|
|
write-protected at the moment. Your floppy will stay
|
|
unchanged, but you might not notice that you didn't write
|
|
anything due to the buffer cache. Also note that HD floppy
|
|
drives only get detected as such if a HD floppy is inserted at
|
|
boot time.
