Hi everyone. I've been monitoring the following website for a while now http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/netwinder/ To my despair there aren't any installation or help documents available for this platform so I'm resorting to anyone on these lists who are successfully running Netwinder servers with NetBSD 1.6 It is my understanding that in order for the Netwinder firmware to boot NetBSD, the boot partition must be linux ex2fs. Is it a good idea to make the entire root / partition ex2fs (which will contain the netbsd kernel)? If not then what do you guys recommend? Should it just contain the kernel, anything else? I also remember reading that one of the network interfaces isn't supported by NetBSD. Is that still the case? Any other help or tips would be greatly appreciated, especially stories about any (in)stability issues. I would like to use this Netwinder as a small mail server (5-6 users) running Postfix and Cyrus-IMAPD. ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
