hardware revision 1.6.4.2 
      1 NetBSD/amiga 1.2 runs on any amiga that has a 68020 or better CPU with
      2 some form of FPU and MMU, and on DraCos which still have a CIA.
      3 
      4 The minimal configuration requires 4M of RAM and about 65M of disk
      5 space.  To install the entire system requires much more disk space,
      6 and to run X or compile the system, more RAM is recommended.  (4M of
      7 RAM will actually allow you to compile, however it won't be speedy.  X
      8 really isn't usable on a 4M system.)
      9 
     10 Here is a table of recommended HD partition sizes for a full install:
     11 	partition:	advise,	with X,	needed,	with X
     12 	root (/)	15M	15M	10M	10M
     13 	user (/usr)	65M	100M	45M 	80M
     14 	swap		----- 2M for every M ram -----
     15 	local (/local)	up to you
     16 
     17 
     18 As you may note the recommended size of /usr is 20M greater than
     19 needed. This is to leave room for a kernel source and compile tree
     20 as you will probably want to compile your own kernel. (GENERIC and
     21 INSTALL are large and bulky to accommodate all people).
     22 
     23 If you only have 4M of fast memory, you should make your swap partition
     24 larger, as your system will be doing much more swapping.
     25 
     26 Supported devices include:
     27 	A4000/A1200 IDE controller.
