1NetBSD/i386 _VER runs on ISA (AT-Bus), EISA, PCI, and VL-bus systems 2with 386-family processors, with or without math coprocessors. It 3does NOT support MCA systems, such as some IBM PS/2 systems. The 4minimal configuration is said to require 4M of RAM and 50M of disk 5space, though we do not know of anyone running with a system quite 6this minimal today. To install the entire system requires much more 7disk space (the unpacked binary distribution, without sources, 8requires at least 65M without counting space needed for swap space, 9etc), and to run X or compile the system, more RAM is recommended. 10(4M of RAM will actually allow you to run X and/or compile, but it 11won't be speedy. Note that until you have around 16M of RAM, getting 12more RAM is more important than getting a faster CPU.) 13 14Supported devices include: 15 Floppy controllers. 16 MFM, ESDI, IDE, and RLL hard disk controllers. 17 SCSI host adapters: 18 Adaptec AHA-154xA, -B, -C, and -CF 19 Adaptec AHA-174x 20 Adaptec AIC-6260 and AIC-6360 based boards, including 21 the Adaptec AHA-152x, Adaptec AHA-1460 (PCMCIA), 22 and the SoundBlaster SCSI host adapter.

Except as noted above, all drivers are present 163on all disks. Also, at the present time, the distributed kernels 164support only one SCSI host adapter per machine. NetBSD normally 165allows more, though, so if you have more than one, you can use all of 166them by compiling a custom kernel once NetBSD is installed. 167 168Support for devices marked with "[+]" IS included in the "generic" kernels, 169although it is not in the kernels which are on the distribution floppies. 170 171Support for devices marked with "[b]" requires BIOS support for PCI-PCI 172bridging on your motherboard. Most reasonably modern Pentium motherboards 173have this support, or can acquire it via a BIOS upgrade. 174 175Hardware the we do NOT currently support, but get many questions 176about: 177 AMD PCscsi SCSI host adapters (though the PCnet portion of the 178 PCnet-SCSI works fine) 179 Multiprocessor Pentium and Pentium Pro systems. (Though they should 180 run fine using one processor only.) 181 NCR 5380-based SCSI host adapters. 182 PCI WD-7000 SCSI host adapters. 183 QIC-40 and QIC-80 tape drives. (Those are the tape drives 184 that connect to the floppy disk controller.) 185 186We are planning future support for many of these devices. 187 188To be detected by the distributed kernels, the devices must 189be configured as follows: 190 191Device Name Port IRQ DRQ Misc 192------ ---- ---- --- --- ---- 193Serial ports com0 0x3f8 4 [8250/16450/16550/clones] 194 com1 0x2f8 3 [8250/16450/16550/clones] 195 com2 0x3e8 5 [8250/16450/16550/clones] 196 197Parallel ports lpt0 0x378 7 [interrupt-driven or polling] 198 lpt1 0x278 [polling only] 199 lpt2 0x3bc [polling only] 200 201Floppy controller 202 fdc0 0x3f0 6 2 [supports two disks] 203 204AHA-154x, AHA-174x (in compatibility mode), or BT-54x SCSI host adapters 205 aha0 0x330 any any 206 aha1 0x334 any any 207 208AHA-174x SCSI host adapters (in enhanced mode) 209 ahb0 any any any 210 211AHA-152x, AIC-6260- or AIC-6360-based SCSI host adapters 212 aic0 0x340 11 6 213 214AHA-2X4X or AIC-7XXX-based SCSI host adapters 215 ahc0 any any any 216 217BusLogic BT445, BT74x, or BT9xx SCSI host adapters 218 bha0 0x330 any any 219 bha1 0x334 any any 220 221Symbios Logic/NCR 53C8xx based PCI SCSI host adapters 222 ncr0 any any any 223 224Ultrastor 14f, 24f (if it works), or 34f SCSI host adapters 225 uha0 0x330 any any 226 uha1 0x334 any any 227 228Western Digital WD7000 based ISA SCSI host adapters 229 wds0 0x350 15 6 230 wds1 0x358 11 5 231 232MFM/ESDI/IDE/RLL hard disk controllers 233 wdc0 0x1f0 14 [supports two devices] 234 wdc1 0x170 15 [supports two devices] 235 236ATA disks wd0, wd1, ... 237SCSI disks sd0, sd1, ... 238SCSI tapes st0, st1, ... 239SCSI and ATAPI CD-ROMs cd0, cd1, ... 240 For each SCSI and IDE controller found, the SCSI or ATA(PI) devices 241 present on the bus are probed in increasing id order for SCSI and 242 master/slave order for ATA(PI).
