I have a DECstation 5000/25 which I only just got netBSD 1.5.1 working on
recently, and I read on this site
http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/pmax/models.html#ds5000/xx
that the internal framebuffer is COLOR? (8bit =256colors i assume)
Mine is what appears to be 256 color grayscale ..is this due to the monitor
(large DEC 19"?ish)or the fb? I dont have any other monitors i can test this
with..
also I was told this machine has 16mb of ram in it .. and in netBSD if i cat
/kern/physmem it only states it has 4096.. do i have to specify the memory
amount to the kernel? thank you for your time.
troy.
