I would very much like to run NetBSD-i386 on my system at home, I have grabbed the latest version and perused the docs. The problem is the system I have is a Pentium PCI system. The docs do not say it will or won't run on such a system. They do imply that the only thing it will run on is a [34]86 ISA (or ESIA) bus system. Should I give it up now? Is someone working on a port? If there is hope for setting up such a system, where would I find docs to get me going? The system is a Gateway and as the on-board IDA (I also have a PCI SCSI controller Adaptec 2940?) and a DAT drive. I would like to be able to put SCSI drives on it as well. Thanks for your time. -- Karl Hakimian hakimian@eecs.wsu.edu
