currently expects the ROM monitor to be the
|
|
.Dq autoboot monitor
|
|
of Oct/Nov 1991.
|
|
It includes support to set up auto booting of
|
|
.Nx ,
|
|
including a secondary boot program that the autoboot monitor
|
|
will load that in turn loads the
|
|
.Nx
|
|
kernel from a
|
|
.Nx
|
|
file system.
|
|
Source and ROM images of the autoboot monitor are located at

|
|
Most of the \*M specific development of
|
|
.Nx*M
|
|
was done on a machine with 8 MB of memory.
|
|
It should run with 4 MB of memory although it may be slower.
