Re: Help needed to port NetBSD to an alien i386 machine

I know netbsd doesn't support 386, that's the reason why I upgraded it to a
486DLC [1] (after I patched its BIOS as it refused to work with 486).
Now the computer has a 486 which works just fine.

Regarding the bootloader, even though I managed to build it I dropped the
idea because I like to have dual boot,  therefore I'm going to choose GRUB
or U-Boot for this job.
I need some links where I can find documentation about porting NetBSD to
another platform.

Cheers,
BogDan.
