Re: RS6000 support

[Jorge Alberto Vieyra Salas <el_oso%eros.pquim.unam.mx@localhost>]

Well the RS6000 that I have is an old model ( a C10, I think), it has
the awful AIX, nothing works and nobody cares about it, so i would
like to install NetBSD on it to give it a better use.

 Thanx

        Those machines still are older RS/6000's; I believe those are all
PreP-based systems, not CHRP-based.  I did not mean MCA-based and/or POWER
architecture systems.
