MK83 for NetBSD-0.9
-----------------------------------------------------------------
CMU's MK83 ported to the NetBSD environment is available
for anonymous FTP from the following site:
col.hp.com
/pub/misc/bsdss/NetBSD-0.9.MK83.tar.gz
This is a fully functional MK that will build (using
native tools) and boot under NetBSD-0.9. It requires no
major changes to the host OS to build. I have tried
very hard to make it painless to drop in and make.
At a minimum you will have to upgrade your bootblocks.
This is a simple procedure and is outlined in the README
that is included in the release.
You should untar the archive in a directory named /usr/mach.
The sources will untar into src/mach. You will
find a README in the /usr/mach/src/mach directory with
instructions on how to build it. Note I have only
tested the build under the NetBSD-0.9 baseline release.
I have not tried to build it under current.
There is still no publicly available bsd'ish server
available. :-( There is a small group working on a NetBSD single
server. If you are interested in helping send mail to
bsdss-request@nic.hq.af.mil. Please only those that
are serious need apply. Work is fairly slow, but it
is moving forward. At this point none of the developers
have loads of time to commit to the project. If and when
we have something that is useful or useable I will post
to let others know.
Even though there is no server available I felt that we should make
the MK83 sources available for those individuals who wish
to write their own servers or explore a micro-kernel.
Sincere Thanks to
