Hello,
I would like to know what is needed to compile a 68060-specific kernel,
that will take advantage of the chip -not just disable the incompatible
characteristics. Surely, there must be other chips that offer superscalar
pipelining, branch caching, etc. that run NetBSD-1.2. I am asking that because
I think that NetBSD-68060 is not fast enough -judging from compile times
compared to a Linux-2.0/P90- and perhaps a specific kernel/scheduler would do
better, not to mention 68060-compiled binaries. Also, the Amiga-coupled with
Executive- offers a much faster task-switching that any Unix I've seen. Can
this be replicated to NetBSD?
Thanks in advance.
