NetBSD/sun3x \*V runs on most Sun3x machines, including the
|
|
3/80, 3/460, 3/470, and 3/480.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
NetBSD/sun3x \*V does not run on the Sun3 class of machines. For
|
|
.Nx
|
|
support on any other Sun3 machine, see the NetBSD/sun3
|
|
distribution.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The minimal configuration requires 4M of RAM and about 80MB of disk
|
|
space. To install the entire system requires much more disk space
|
|
(approx. 100MB additional space is necessary for full sources).
|
|
To run X or compile the system, more RAM is recommended. Good
|
|
performance requires 8MB of RAM, or 16 MB when running the
|
|
X Window System.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Here is a table of recommended HD partition sizes for a full install:
|
|
.Bl -column -offset indent local\ (/usr/local) Advised With\ X Needed With\ X
|
|
. It Partition Ta Advised Ta With\ X Ta Needed Ta With\ X
|
|
. It root\ (/) Ta 20M Ta 20M Ta 15M Ta 15M
|
|
. It user\ (/usr) Ta 95M Ta 125M Ta 75M Ta 105M
|
|
. It swap Ta ram*2\ \&...
|
|
. It local\ (/usr/local) Ta up\ to\ you\ \&...
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
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).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.(Note
|
|
The sun3x installation procedure uses a `miniroot' image
|
|
which is placed into the swap area of the disk. The swap partition
|
|
must be at least as large as the miniroot image (8MB).
|
|
.Note)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following Sun3x hardware is supported:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent -offset indent
|
|
.It Em "Serial ports (RS232):
|
|
