I am planning on upgrading my current PC, and I would like to try to
make sure that either/both {Free,Net}BSD will work with the new stuff
(basic 386bsd installed and ran fine under the current hardware).
Current system: 486sx/20 running at 40MHz, 8MB RAM, ISA motherboard,
standard VGA, Maxtor 7345AT drive, Plus HardCard IIXL 105 (not
recognized by non-DOS, -MSWin, -OS/2 systems).
Upgrade plans: 1GB SCSI drive, Adaptec 1542C, 1280x1024 SVGA, Paradise
card, an additional 500MB IDE drive and an upgrade to 16MB RAM,
plus a QIC-150 SCSI tape drive and a Toshiba TXM3301E1 CD-ROM
(borrowed as needed from an SGI Indigo).
I wish to dedicate the SCSI drive and part of the 500MB IDE to BSD, and
the 345 MB IDE and the remainder of the 500 MB IDE to MicroSloth, but
to be able to access DOS from BSD.
Does anyone see a problem with the upgrade?
Thanks for any input!
