It turns out that an HP 9000/332 will be identified by NetBSD as a = 9000/340 and can boot with 8MB. Unfortunately with so little memory and = no attached HP-IB or SCSI disk, such a system will take literally all = day to boot, and MUST have /etc/rc modified to swap to a file on the = network-mounted / in order to make it through /etc/rc. Another issue I=E2=80=99ve noticed is that the HP 98343A video card is = recognized as 1024x400@4bpp instead of 512x400@4bpp, so upon switch from = the secondary booter to the kernel, wscons text is compressed and = difficult to read. It might be necessary to special-case the 98343A for = this if its ROM is returning the wrong data. -- Chris
