3NetBSD/mvme68k _VER runs on Motorola MVME147 boards.
4
5The minimal configuration requires 4M of RAM and ~100MB of disk space.
6To install the entire system requires much more disk space (approx.
7200MB additional space is necessary for full sources. Double that if you
8want to recompile it all!). To run X (clients only) or compile the system,
9more RAM is recommended. Good performance requires 8MB of RAM, or 16 MB
10when running the X Window System.
11
12Here is a table of recommended HD partition sizes for a full install:
13        partition:      advise          needed
14        root (/)        20M             12M
15        user (/usr)     100M            80M
16        swap            (2 or 3 * RAM)   8M
17        Anything else is up to you!
18
19Note that the mvme68k installation procedure uses a `miniroot' image
20which is placed into the swap area of the disk. The swap partition
21must be large enough to hold this miniroot image (> 6Mb).
22
23The following VME147 hardware is supported:
24
25        Serial ports (RS232):
26                built-in console, tty01, tty02 and tty03
27
28        Parallel port:
29                On-board centronics style printer port
30
31        Network interfaces:
32                On-board Lance Ethernet (le)
33
34        SCSI:  (Most SCSI disks, tapes, CD-ROMs, etc.)
35                On-board wd33c93 SCSI bus interface chip (async only for now).
36
37        Miscellaneous:
38                Battery-backed real-time clock.
39                VMEbus RAM cards.
40
41If it's not on this list, there is no support for it in this release.
