. NetBSD/sparc64 \*V runs on the following classes of machines: l -bullet -compact . It Sbus-based UltraSPARC systems (the Ultra1, Ultra1E, Ultra2, Ultra2E) . It PCI-based UltraSPARC systems (known to work on the Ultra5, Ultra10, Ultra30 and Ultra250, and may work on many other systems) .El
p NetBSD/sparc64 \*V does .Em not run on these machines (yet): l -bullet -compact . It Enterprise Systems (Ex000, E10000) .El
p The minimal configuration requires 16M of RAM and ~60M of disk space. To install the entire system requires much more disk space, and to run X or compile the system, more RAM is recommended. (NetBSD with 4M of RAM feels like Solaris with 4M of RAM.) Note that until you have around 16M of RAM, getting more RAM is more important than getting a faster CPU.)
p Supported devices include: d -literal Ethernet devices: - Sbus LANCE ethernet (le) [*] - Sbus HME ethernet (hme) [*] - Sbus BigMac ethernet (be) [*] - PCI HME ethernet (hme) - PCI Tulip (tlp) Video devices: - Sbus cgsix SCSI host controllers: - ncr53c9x based controllers (esp) - ncr53c8xx based controllers (siop) - ISP10x0 based controllers (isp) - Adaptec AHA-2x4x[U][2][W] cards and onboard PCI designs using the AIC-7770, AIC-7850, AIC-7860, AIC-7870, AIC-7880 and AIC-789x chipsets. PCI IDE host controllers: - CMD Tech PCI064[3689] IDE Controllers (pciide) [**] Serial devices: - Sbus z8530 serial (zs) Parallel devices: - Sbus parallel ports (bpp) - PCI/Ebus parallel ports (lpt) .El There are a large number of untested PCI drivers that have never been tested on UltraSPARC PCI systems, that may "just work".
p [*] Sbus ethernet drivers current have a problem with interrupts and do not perform properly except in extreme low usage conditions, rendering them effectively unusable.
p [**] Access to devices on the secondary PCIIDE channel currently do not work.
p Hardware the we do NOT currently support, but get questions about: l -literal Floppy drives Audio devices: - Sbus & PCI based system audio (audiocs) Serial devices: - PCI based systems (sab) Keyboard & Mouse devices: - PCI based systems Video devices: - Creator3D framebuffers (ffb) - General PCI VGA support SCSI host controllers: - ESP366 based controllers found in Ultra1E and Ultra2 systems (esp) .El
