Hi all,
I report booting on LC/Quadra630. I can boot it.
Environments
machine Performa630 Quadra630
CPU 68LC040 68040
memory 20Mb 36Mb
system 7.5.3 7.5.5
monitor Apple Multiscan 15' monitor
I made an external SCSI disk, Quantum 240LPS:
Root & User Slice 0 176Mb
Swap 40mb
I installed NetBSD/mac68k-1.2 distribution with exception of kernel,
and test with the same disk on both Performa630 and Quadra630.
Results Performa630 Quadra630
kernel
netbsd.quadra boot,
but it makes core dump not tested
when the monitor is 832 x 624
black&white mode.
(other modes are not tested)
GENERIC-12 boot, boot without any trouble
but it makes core dump (832 x 624 256 color mode
when the monitor is 832 x 624. seems to be ok.)
640 x 480 b&w mode is safe.
I found some problems;
on both case, it cannot beep.
it cannot turn power off by itself when shutdown.
time seems correct, but error message appears.
Quadra630 has "Apple Ethernet CS 10/T card", but it is not recognized.
X or dt are not tested.
Are there anyone who can use ethernet cards on such a machine?
Please tell me what card is workable.
Mamoru
