1 1.7 chopps NetBSD/amiga 1.2 runs on any Amiga that has a 68020 or better CPU with 2 1.7 chopps some form of FPU and MMU, and on DraCos which still have a CIA. 3 1.7 chopps 4 1.11 veego The minimal configuration requires 4M of RAM and about 75M of disk 5 1.7 chopps space. To install the entire system requires much more disk space, 6 1.7 chopps and to run X or compile the system, more RAM is recommended. (4M of 7 1.7 chopps RAM will actually allow you to compile, however it won't be speedy. X 8 1.7 chopps really isn't usable on a 4M system.) 9 1.1 chopps 10 1.1 chopps Here is a table of recommended HD partition sizes for a full install: 11 1.1 chopps partition: advise, with X, needed, with X 12 1.9 is root (/) 20M 20M 15M 15M 13 1.11 veego user (/usr) 80M 110M 60M 90M 14 1.1 chopps swap ----- 2M for every M ram ----- 15 1.1 chopps local (/local) up to you 16 1.4 jtc 17 1.1 chopps 18 1.1 chopps As you may note the recommended size of /usr is 20M greater than 19 1.7 chopps needed. This is to leave room for a kernel source and compile tree as 20 1.7 chopps you will probably want to compile your own kernel. (GENERIC is large 21 1.7 chopps and bulky to accommodate all people). 22 1.1 chopps 23 1.4 jtc If you only have 4M of fast memory, you should make your swap partition 24 1.4 jtc larger, as your system will be doing much more swapping. 25 1.4 jtc 26 1.1 chopps Supported devices include: 27 1.2 chopps A4000/A1200 IDE controller. 28 1.1 chopps SCSI host adapters: 29 1.7 chopps 33c93 based boards: A2091, A3000 builtin and GVP series II. 30 1.7 chopps 53c80 based boards: 12 Gauge, IVS, Wordsync/Bytesync and 31 1.7 chopps Emplant.*) 32 1.7 chopps 53c710 based boards: A4091, Magnum, Warp Engine, Zeus 33 1.7 chopps and DraCo builtin. 34 1.10 is FAS216 based SCSI boards: Fastlane Z3, Blizzard I and II**) 35 1.1 chopps Video controllers: 36 1.7 chopps ECS, AGA and A2024 built in on various Amigas. 37 1.7 chopps Retina Z2, Retina Z3 and Altais. 38 1.11 veego Cirrus CL GD 54xx based boards: 39 1.11 veego GVP Spectrum, 40 1.11 veego Picasso II, II+ and IV, 41 1.11 veego Piccolo and Piccolo SD64. 42 1.11 veego Tseng ET4000 based boards: 43 1.11 veego Domino and Domino16M proto, 44 1.11 veego oMniBus, 45 1.11 veego Merlin. 46 1.3 chopps A2410. 47 1.4 jtc Cybervision 64. 48 1.1 chopps Ethernet controllers: 49 1.1 chopps A2065 Ethernet 50 1.3 chopps Hydra Ethernet 51 1.3 chopps ASDG Ethernet 52 1.3 chopps A4066 Ethernet 53 1.3 chopps Ariadne Ethernet 54 1.4 jtc Quicknet Ethernet 55 1.7 chopps ARCnet controllers: 56 1.7 chopps A2060 ARCnet 57 1.1 chopps Tape drives: 58 1.1 chopps Most SCSI tape drives, including 59 1.1 chopps Archive Viper, Cipher SCSI-2 ST150. 60 1.7 chopps Scanners: 61 1.7 chopps SCSI-2 scanners behaving as SCSI-2 scanner devices, 62 1.7 chopps HP Scanjet II, Mustek SCSI scanner.***) 63 1.1 chopps CD-ROM drives: 64 1.1 chopps Most SCSI CD-ROM drives 65 1.3 chopps Serial cards: 66 1.3 chopps MultiFaceCard II and III 67 1.3 chopps A2232 68 1.9 is Amiga floppy drives with Amiga (880/1760kB) and 69 1.9 is IBM (720/1440kB) encoding. ****) 70 1.1 chopps Amiga parallel port. 71 1.1 chopps Amiga serial port. 72 1.1 chopps Amiga mouse. 73 1.1 chopps 74 1.7 chopps If its not on the above lists, there is no support for it in this 75 1.7 chopps release. Especially (but this is an incomplete list), there is no 76 1.7 chopps driver for: 77 1.7 chopps 78 1.7 chopps Cyberstorm SCSI option, Blizzard IV SCSI, Blizzard 2060 SCSI, 79 1.11 veego Ferret SCSI, Oktagon SCSI, CyberVision64/3D. 80 1.7 chopps 81 1.7 chopps Known problems with some hardware: 82 1.7 chopps 83 1.7 chopps *) the Emplant SCSI adapter has been reported by a party to 84 1.7 chopps hang after doing part of the installation without problems. 85 1.7 chopps 86 1.7 chopps **) Fastlane SCSI is reported to show data errors and hangs at 87 1.7 chopps least when used with multiple devices on the bus. This might 88 1.7 chopps be a problem with any FAS board. 89 1.7 chopps 90 1.7 chopps ***) SCSI scanner support is machine independent, so it should 91 1.7 chopps work, but hasn't been tested yet on most Amiga configurations. 92 1.10 is There are reports that the Mustek and HP Scanjet hang if 93 1.7 chopps accessed from the A3000. This might apply to other 94 1.7 chopps 33C93-Adapters, too. 95 1.9 is 96 1.9 is ****) Our floppy driver doesn't notice when mounted floppies are 97 1.9 is write-protected at the moment. Your floppy will stay 98 1.9 is unchanged, but you might not notice that you didn't write 99 1.10 is anything due to the buffer cache. Also note that HD floppy 100 1.10 is drives only get detected as such if a HD floppy is inserted at 101 1.10 is boot time. 102
