. .Nx*M is a port based on Motorola's .Tn "SandPoint" evaluation system. The .Tn "SandPoint" is the successor to the .Tn "Yellowknife" system. Based on the .Tn "SandPoint" 824x architecture several consumer directed NAS (Network Attached Storage) systems were published. The main focus of this port is on these systems, while the original evaluation boards are still supported. . .Ss2 SandPoint X3 supported processor cards .(bullet -offset indent Unity X4 with MPC8240 t Altimus X3 with either MPC755 or MPC7410 .bullet)

p The SandPoint X3 requires the use of Motorola's .Tn "DINK32" ROM to load over a serial port. This means that there is no way to boot from a local disk or PCI device. . .Ss2 SandPoint X3 supported boot devices and media Currently, the only way to boot the system is with the DINK32 ROM monitor's serial download or a JTAG device. . .Ss2 Supported 824x based NAS systems The listed models of the following vendors are supported (installed NIC and disk device in brackets): .(tag 8n t Em "KuroBox, Buffalo"
