Free to a good home: 9000/362

[Michael Wolfson <michael%nosflow.com@localhost>]

I've decided to part with my dear old HP 9000/362.  I dusted it off, installed 
-current, and am willing to ship it anywhere in the US.  It comes with an HIL 
keyboard (no mouse) and ethernet.  It's got 16 MB RAM, a 1 GB SCSI disk, and an 
integrated 640x480 VGA gendiofb.   See below for full dmesg.  I got X to start 
with a blank screen, but couldn't get much further without a mouse.

While installing, I noticed a few things that probably should be fixed.

I couldn't install with the standard utilities.  When I got to the first screen 
("Shall we continue"), it hung with:
sd0(spc0:0:0:0): illegal request, data = 00 00 00 00 20 00 00 00               
sd1(spc0:0:2:0): timed out

I tried "upgrading" instead of "installing", and it didn't help.  I tried 
unplugging the SCSI floppy, but that also didn't help:
sd0(spc0:0:2:0): timed out

The RAMDISK installer utils don't use DHCP, you have to manually enter IP 
information.

Otherwise, it's really impressive that this > 20 year old hardware works with 
an up-to-date OS.

So if you want this gem of a relic, let me know!

 You have chosen to install NetBSD on your hard disk.  This will change
 information on your hard disk.  You should have made a full backup before
 this procedure!  This procedure will do the following things:
         a) Partition your disk
         b) Create new BSD file systems
         c) Load and install distribution sets
         d) Some initial system configuration
 
 (After you enter the partition information but before your disk is changed,
 you will have the opportunity to quit this procedure.)
 
 Shall we continue?
