I just installed NetBSD 1.0 binaries, and have run into a problem already :-( The machine is a very (very, very) generic 486/33, 24mb memory, IDE disk. The network card is a 3c509. The machine previously ran LINUX and stayed up for weeks without incident. (so I know the hardware is OK). However now with NetBSD installed, the machine doesn't stay up for more than 15 or 20 minutes before the network connection "hangs". The OS doesn't hang (I can still login on the console), but all network activity stops. Is this a known problem? Thanks in advance, Bill -- These are my opinions, not those of my employer.
