System: NetBSD foundation 1.0_BETA NetBSD 1.0_BETA (FOUNDATION) #1: Mon Aug 8 14:05:59 PDT 1994 thorpej@foundation:/tmp_mnt/nemesis/usr/src/sys/arch/hp300/compile/FOUNDATION hp300
>Description:
The hp300 port can run 4.4BSD binaries; I am running a rather large
one (the X server) at the moment. A slight annoyance is that file(1)
still does not know the HP300 BSD binary magic numbers.
>How-To-Repeat:
run file(1) on an HP300 BSD binary.
>Fix:
Add something like the following to /usr/src/usr.bin/file/magdir
(under the name hpBSD or somesuch):
# hpBSD magic numbers
0 beshort 200 old hp200 BSD
>2 beshort 0407 impure binary
>2 beshort 0410 read-only binary
>2 beshort 0413 demand paged binary
0 beshort 300 hp300 BSD
>2 beshort 0407 impure binary
>2 beshort 0410 read-only binary
>2 beshort 0413 demand paged binary
