Hello!!
a few days ago i get an Mips Magnum with the original OS (Risc/OS) wich is
more than ugly, so im looking
for an other OS for this Machine (everthing but not M$). So i found netbsd
which has a port for this machine.
But my Problem is that the machine is at the moment in big endian mode,
because its run Risc/OS. If i had
read everthing right and have understud it, netbsd run's only in little
endian mode (same as M$). So my
machine has no graphic card an i'm not sure, if i could change the firmware
with the serial console.
At the moment the machine looks like this
Digital Kienzle DK2825
inside
Mips Magnum 4000 SC
RAM 128 MB
UPS inside (active after 10 sec., for secure shutdown, after
shutdown it goes off)
SCSI onboard
2nd SCSI-Controller (EISA, Adaptec)
Emulex WAN-Adapter
Kidan X-21 Controller
2 Harddrive (1GB Fujitsu)
1 Streamer
1 DAT-Drive
1 3,5" Floppy
1 System Console VT-420
It is possible to get on this machine netbsd in big endian mode or have i
reprogramm the firmware with the little
endian. also i'm searching for a graphic card for this machine, does anyone
knows something about this graphic
card's?
Thanks for your help!
