Hi all.
I was piecing together another 386 from spare parts and ran across
a problem. I was going to install Linux on it, but Linux doesn't
seem to want to recognize an rll controller.
So what does this have to do with NetBSD you ask?
Well, I still had a couple of NetBSD 0.9 bootables and tried
them out. It was a go. Installed 0.9 without a hitch
(well, during startup, the kernel complains that it doesn't
know the info for wd0a (which is a ST227R) but it starts
fine from the Hard disk.
Does the current NetBSD still have support for RLL controllers,
and is PPP supported (yeah, I know, I can fidn the second in the
FAQ).
thanks
Brian
