The 4.4 tree has machine-dependent kernel directories for: hp300 -- HP 9000/300 series 680x0 workstations i386 -- need I explicate? :-) luna68k -- 680x0 workstations from Omron (a Japanese company) news3400 - Sony NEWS workstations (R3000 based) pmax -- DEC PMAX workstations (R3000 based) sparc -- Sun SS1, SS2 series (i.e., only older sparc boxes) tahoe -- CCI/Harris/ICL/Sperry `tahoe' machines vax -- where `vmunix' began Not all of these work; in particular, the vax and tahoe support is thoroughly out of date, and the 386 support is way behind the NetBSD in stability, if it works at all. I personally use hp300 and sparc boxes running 4.4BSD; these seem to be as stable as anything using the Mach 2.5-based VM can be. I know very little about the other three ports. -- In-Real-Life: Chris Torek, Lawrence Berkeley Lab CSE/EE (+1 510 486 5427) Berkeley, CA Domain: torek@ee.lbl.gov
