Hi,
I am interested to know if I can run NetBSD 1.5 using the following
hardware configuration:
PowerCenter 120 + 300MHz G3
XClaim 3D PCI card
2930 UltraSCSI Card
According to the "Model Support" page at
http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/macppc/models.html, on-board platinum video
is broken in OF so I must use a serial console, and it also looks like I
can't boot from a hard disk hosted by the SCSi card. Will I be able to
boot if I reattach the hard disk to the internal SCSI interface? Since I
have a 7100/66 that I can connect to the PowerCenter via ZModem, will I
able to make the necessary modifications to the booting process to boot
NetBSD independently?
Thank you for any information and I look forward to installing NetBSD!!
Regards,
Taro
