NetBSD-1.5 BETA Amiga test version
NetBSD is a free, easily portable UNIX-alike operating system, which, aside from many
other platforms, also exists in an Amiga version.
A new test version of NetBSD-1.5 for 68k Amigas is available at the FTP server
ftp.netbsd.org in the directory /pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.5_BETA/amiga.
Minimum requirements:
- CPU: M68020 + MMU M68851, optionally FPU M68881/2, or
- CPU: M68030, optionally FPU M68881/2, or
- CPU: M68040 or M68060
- RAM: 8 MB Fastmem (A3000/A4000: not Zorro II)
- a M68LC040 or M68040V-CPU might possibly work too, but this has not been tested
yet
- M68000, M68010, M68EC030 CPUs do not suffice
- further requirements (drive controllers etc.) are described in the relevant locations
in the installation documentation
WARNING: 1.5 requires a major reinstallation. Moreover, 1.5_BETA is
a test version. If you need bugfixes and a minimum downtime, you should install NetBSD-1.4.3
when it becomes available.
Test reports, in English where possible, should be send to the mailinglist
port-amiga@netbsd.org. Instructions for
subscribing to this mailinglist can be requested from majordomo@netbsd.org.
