hardware revision 1.12 
1NetBSD/amiga 1.2 runs on any Amiga that has a 68020 or better CPU with
2some form of FPU and MMU, and on DraCos.

4The minimal configuration requires 4M of RAM and about 75M of disk
5space.  To install the entire system requires much more disk space,
6and to run X or compile the system, more RAM is recommended.  (4M of
7RAM will actually allow you to compile, however it won't be speedy. X
8really isn't usable on a 4M system.)
9
10Here is a table of recommended HD partition sizes for a full install:
11	partition:	advise,	with X,	needed,	with X
12	root (/)	20M	20M	15M	15M
13	user (/usr)	80M	110M	60M 	90M
14	swap		----- 2M for every M ram -----
15	local (/local)	up to you
16
17
18As you may note the recommended size of /usr is 20M greater than
19needed. This is to leave room for a kernel source and compile tree as
20you will probably want to compile your own kernel. (GENERIC is large
21and bulky to accommodate all people).
22
23If you only have 4M of fast memory, you should make your swap partition
24larger, as your system will be doing much more swapping.

71	Amiga parallel port.
72	Amiga serial port.
73	Amiga mouse.
74	DraCo serial port, including serial mouse.
75
76If its not on the above lists, there is no support for it in this
77release. Especially (but this is an incomplete list), there is no
78driver for:
79
80	Cyberstorm SCSI option, Blizzard IV SCSI, Blizzard 2060 SCSI,
81	Ferret SCSI, Oktagon SCSI, CyberVision64/3D.
82
83Known problems with some hardware:
84
85	*) the Emplant SCSI adapter has been reported by a party to
86	hang after doing part of the installation without problems.
87
88	**) Fastlane SCSI is reported to show data errors and hangs at
89	least when used with multiple devices on the bus. This might
90	be a problem with any FAS board. 
91
92	***) SCSI scanner support is machine independent, so it should
93	work, but hasn't been tested yet on most Amiga configurations.
94	There are reports that the Mustek and HP Scanjet hang if
95	accessed from the A3000. This might apply to other
96	33C93-Adapters, too.
97
98	****) Our floppy driver doesn't notice when mounted floppies are 
99	write-protected at the moment. Your floppy will stay
100	unchanged, but you might not notice that you didn't write
101	anything due to the buffer cache. Also note that HD floppy
102	drives only get detected as such if a HD floppy is inserted at
103	boot time.
