Some recent changes to NetBSD/bebox
-
Allen Briggs has added the ex(4) driver (3Com 3c90x[BC]) to
NetBSD/bebox, and used it for a NFS-based boot. This requires
configuring the PCI bus at boot time, which requires the
PCI_NETBSD_CONFIGURE option to exist in your
kernel configuration file.
Also, in addition to the tested 3Com card, all PCI devices supported
under NetBSD/macppc should now work.
Please tell the folks at the
port-bebox if you have any problems.
SCSI support is under development.
