I got NetBSD working on a 320 with a 120MB HPIB disk including X but
without kernel sources, but anyway, compiling a kernel wouldn't be fun
with 5MB RAM and a 16MHz 68020... if you could do it on a 345 :-)

I used 16MB for swapping, 20MB for / and the rest for /usr, a bit
squeezy but it worked ( slow... more or less because of the very limited
RAM )
