all,
I am interested in what possibilities there are for running netbsd1.0
on a sparcstation2. I pulled this machine out of the closet and dusted it off.
it is a nice system. It lacks some major os stuff though(primarily a C
compiler and Xstuff). Am I in left field or can this be done. I have no
os tapes or anything for this thing so if I start down the road I will have
no opportunity to turn back. it runs sunos 4.1.3 now. The filesystems could
use a major overhaul in terms of layout. Looking at the INSTALL file on
gatekeeper.dec.com it says that I need a working sun4c class machine. I am
not knowledgeable about suns and do not know if this is a sun4c class machine.
any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated
thanks in advance
