.\" $NetBSD: hardware,v 1.3 1999/01/13 07:30:03 ross Exp $
|
|
|
|
NetBSD/arm32 \*V runs on several systems with
|
|
.Tn ARM6
|
|
or above processors,
|
|
with or without FPU coprocessor. The minimal configuration is said to
|
|
require 8M of RAM and 50M of disk space, though we do not know of anyone
|
|
running with a system quite this minimal today. To install the entire
|
|
system requires much more disk space (the unpacked binary distribution,
|
|
without sources, requires at least 65M without counting space needed for
|
|
swap space, etc), and to run X or compile the system, more RAM is
|
|
recommended. (8M of RAM will actually allow you to run X and/or compile,
|
|
but it won't be speedy. Note that until you have around 16M of RAM,
|
|
getting more RAM is more important than getting a faster CPU.)

requires some hack (generally an entry to a quirk

table) to work with NetBSD.]
