hardware revision 1.18 
1NetBSD/amiga _VER runs on any Amiga that has a 68020 or better CPU with
2some form of MMU, and on 68060 DraCos.
3
4For 68020 and 68030 systems, a FPU is recommended but not required. 
568LC040, 68040V and 68LC060 systems don't work correctly at the moment.
6
7The minimal configuration requires 4M of RAM and about 75M of disk
8space.  To install the entire system requires much more disk space,
9and to run X or compile the system, more RAM is recommended.  (4M of
10RAM will actually allow you to compile, however it won't be speedy. X
11really isn't usable on a 4M system.)
12
13Here is a table of recommended HD partition sizes for a full install:
14	partition:	advise,	with X,	needed,	with X
15	root (/)	20M	20M	15M	15M
16	user (/usr)	80M	110M	60M 	90M
17	swap		----- 2M for every M ram -----
18	local (/usr/local)	up to you
19
20
21As you may note the recommended size of /usr is 20M greater than
22needed. This is to leave room for a kernel source and compile tree as
23you will probably want to compile your own kernel. (GENERIC is large
24and bulky to accommodate all people).
25
26If you only have 4M of fast memory, you should make your swap partition
27larger, as your system will be doing much more swapping.

89
90If its not on the above lists, there is no support for it in this
91release. Especially (but this is an incomplete list), there is no
92driver for:
93
94	Blizzard III SCSI option, Cyberstorm Mk III SCSI option,
95	Ferret SCSI, Oktagon SCSI.
96
97Known problems with some hardware:
98
99	*) the Emplant SCSI adapter has been reported by a party to
100	hang after doing part of the installation without problems.
101
102	**) There is currently no support for the CyberVision 64/3D
103	in ZorroII mode only in ZorroIII mode. There is also a problem
104	that textmode of the Console produce a black screen so the
105	console driver is not enabled.
106
107	***) SCSI scanner support is machine independent, so it should
108	work, but hasn't been tested yet on most Amiga configurations.
109	There are reports that the Mustek and HP Scanjet hang if
110	accessed from the A3000. This might apply to other
111	33C93-Adapters, too.
112
113	****) Our floppy driver doesn't notice when mounted floppies are 
114	write-protected at the moment. Your floppy will stay
115	unchanged, but you might not notice that you didn't write
116	anything due to the buffer cache. Also note that HD floppy
117	drives only get detected as such if a HD floppy is inserted at
118	boot time.
