Is there any possibility of a Mips port for NetBSD ?
The DEC PMAX port is coming along very nicely, thank you. You might
need to port some drivers for your machine, however.
I have an Olivetti M700-10 which is a Mips 4000 processor based system and
would like to install a BSD based unix.
There is the beginnings of a Linux port (it now mounts /root) and it would
be nice if there were a NetBSD port as well.
The DEC PMAX port is a fully functional NetBSD port.
I know everyone is very busy, but if (with my limited very knowledge of
mips) I could be of any assistance I would certainly offer it...
You should write to port-pmax@NetBSD.org. If you want to subscribe
yourself to that list, send an email with just "subscribe port-pmax"
(no quotes) in the body to majordomo@NetBSD.org.
