Could anyone help me explaing some parts of my kernel config file?
options HAVECACHE # Sun3/260 VAC
Do I need this one with my 3/50?
# XXX - Work-around for root on slow SunOS/Sun3 servers (sigh...)
options NFS_BOOT_RWSIZE=1024
What exactly is this supposed to do?
# Sun3-specific debugging options
#options CONTEXT_DEBUG
#options PMAP_DEBUG
#options VMFAULT_TRACE
#options SYSCALL_DEBUG
#options EXEC_DEBUG
options DIAGNOSTIC
options SCSIDEBUG
config netbsd swap generic
What are they supposed to do, especially the commented out ones?
# Intel Ethernet (onboard, or VME)
ie0 at obio0 addr ? level ?
ie1 at vmes0 addr 0xffe88000 level 3 vect 0x75
Do I need this one? As far as I know I do not have ie... do I?
# Lance Ethernet (only onboard)
le0 at obio0 addr ? level ?
What is the "?" supposed to do?
# The default cgfour address depends on the machine:
# 3/60: obio 0xFF200000 .. 0xFF9fffff
# 3/110: different? (not tested)
cgfour0 at obmem0 addr ?
I do not have cgfour, do I?
# The default bwtwo address depends on the machine:
# 3/50: obio 0x100000
# else: obio 0xff000000
bwtwo0 at obmem0 addr ?
How should I set this chap up for my 3/50?
