Hello, I stumbled upon this mail list and I hope to get some clarification. I have the following machine, with AIX 5.1 currently. I have AIX 5.3 ready to be installed, but I rather install an open-source OS given that the little available foss packages for 5.3 are outdated. This is my machine: - IBM pSeries 610 (7028-6E1) - 333 MHz POWER3-II 64-bit processor, 4 MB of L2 cache (most likely not the SMP version, I forgot) - 512 MB of ECC SDRAM - 18 GB Ultra3 SCSI HDD - Two 10/100 Ethernet (IEEE 802.3 compliant) - CD-ROM - Floppy - Tape Drive (I disconnected it, don't need it) I am not a major fan of GNU/Linux. I checked with FreeBSD, but their progress with ppc is so far mainly restricted to Apple computers. So, I am turning to the NetBSD, famous for being able to be installed on almost anything. :) Question 1: I know Tim requested this hardware, so I would like to test and help with what I can remotely. At this point, is it supported? Question 2: How can I burn the ofppc .iso? Using Brasero autodetect type it tells me it cannot identify it. I had no problem burning the Debian 6.0.3 powerpc .iso, just burn and boot. Can you tell my how to burn the NetBSD ofppc .iso so I can test? Cheers.
