Hi!

One thing in advance:
I=B4m not that "interactive" on this list: As my email-account only allow=
s me
a max of 30 mails, and as I can=B4t go online every day, I simply post my=

questions and wait for the answers in the archive :-( . This might cause
some inconsequences. =


O.K., =B4nuff complainin=B4, back to business:

My config:
A4000/3640/25Mhz,16MB Fast, GVP Series II SCSI with 8MB 16Bit-Mem, CV64/3=
D

1. The Amiga-internal serial device: Can anybody tell me about experience=
s,
up to wich speed NetBSD can handle it reliably? Miami3=B4s custom driver =
makes
57600 (or so), is this possible with NetBSD, too (see my config above)?

2. Somebody asked that a while ago, but I didn=B4t find an answer in the
mailing-list-archive: A description of loadbsd=B4s options! I want to mak=
e use
of the 16Bit-RAM (as a BTN-Solution ;-), but, as I mailed before, NetBSD
crashes while booting. Might be, that some mysterious option of loadbsd
helps...

3. As there are always questions about literature: I like the book "Unix
System V Rel. 4" from Rosen, Rosinsky, Farber and Host (german version
available). O.K., it=B4s not about BSD, but with a bit phantasy it can he=
lp a
lot!

4. And now for something completely different: I was quite interested in
that historical discussion concerning the origins of the AmigaOS taking
place in this list. As there seemed to be quite a few competent mailers: =
If
it was not that problem to compile all the AmigaOS under NetBSD (as
allegedly done by Olaf Barthel), what was/is the problem porting the Amig=
aOS
to a new, more powerful platform (say PPC): Hey, those guys at Amiga,
whoever is the current boss, are supposed to have PAID programmers to do
that, or am I wrong? And just look at those UNPAID programmers, what they=

are capable of... (Yeah, it might be not easy, but at least feasible).

Thanks in advance!
