NetBSD/hp300 \*V will run on most HP 9000/300- and 400-series machines. The smallest amount of RAM that has been tested is 4M. If you wish to run X, more RAM is recommended.
p Here is a table of recommended HD partition sizes for a full install: d -literal -offset indent partition: advise needed root (/) 25M 15M user (/usr) 150M 100M swap (2 or 3 * RAM) 6M (see note below) Anything else is up to you! .Ed .(tag Note: The hp300 installation procedure uses a `miniroot' filesystem which is placed into the swap area of the disk. The swap partition must be large enough to hold this miniroot image.
