Hello !
I have couple of questions about NetBSD for Amiga usage.
Currently, I'm using Debian Linux, and my A1200 is used for nightly BittTorent and other (Gnutella, FastTrack) downloads.
So, questions:
1. Will my 30 gb IDE drive (or larger) will be fully supported ? In Linux I partitioned it successfully, but in AmigaOS I've got weird sizes of my HDD. I 'm confused, because install guide talks about partitioning in AmigaOS, so I can't access whole 30 gb in Amiga OS =(.
2. Will cheap NE2000 clone PCMCIA ethernet be supported ? I had a lot of troubles with it firstly, but later after much help it worked flawlessly.
3. Is there any performance boost on NetBSD in comparison to m68k Linux ? I have a 68030 board with 32 mb fast ram. Will it be enough to run complicated python scripts or something like BitTorrent on NetBSD ?
4. Is AGA PAL or NTSC modes are available ? In linux I use SSH to manage system, but on install process I used just TV (monitor is not available)


Thank you very much for your help in advance.
