Hello Andrew!
AG> I can help you get a kernel if you wish.
That would be really appreciated, thanks!
AG> Let me know what kind of hardware is in the box.
Not sure, since I haven't picked up the mainboard yet. It
will probably be a 486SX with one ATA channel containing a
couple of Fixed disks as described previously. At least one
serial port and probably a parallel port too. I'll probably
need a diskette drive in the machine, at least long enough
to boot NetBSD and get it installed. Hopefully 8Mb of RAM.
Possibly an Adaptec 1502 16-bit ISA SCSI host adaptor with a
100Mb Iomega Zip drive (that's optional though). I'm hoping
it will have an MDA or Hercules display adaptor with a TTL
mono monitor. Probably no LAN card to begin with, although I
might add one later.
Does this help at all?
Regards,
- Andy.
