Xm6i.r3372 For Mac

Booting NetBSD 7.0 on a Macbook Pro Retina 13 inch 00:02:02. Booting NetBSD/x68k 5.0.2 on xm6i r3372 for Mac OS X with VM Fullspeed option.

1. Xm6i.r3372 For Mac Pro

Although I haven’t gone through this yet, I need to get some different video cables, and perhaps a monitor for my Mac Pro which has my VMWare stuff on it. Although at the same time as a past cube owner, I’m really digging the new Mac Pro design. I guess it all comes down to me finding a job in HK. The best part about this, is that it was located by a READER.

As much as I try to do everything myself, believe it or not, user contributions go a long long way. And I am greatly appreciative of it. I do need to setup my exchange server. Anyways for the two or three people who dig this kind of thing,. Author Posted on Categories.

NetBSD’s old logo So while I was on the path of running some ancient Linux on the UAE Amiga 3000 emulator but without any real luck. So for the heck of it I figured I’d give a whirl.

Much like Linux, the first platform other than the i386 to get some mainstream love. While 4.4 BSD had been adding support for the m68k via the HP 9000-300 series based workstations, the Amiga was something that was sold retail, and could be put in the hands of hackers, rather than lab rats. So yeah, NetBSD started to integrate Amiga patches as of NetBSD 0.9 as it says from the: This version is strictly for the kernel hackers among you, there’s no sense in `normal’ users trying to install it, possibly killing their other partitions, facing kernel panics and not knowing what to do.

Please keep that in mind, if you feel like going on So maybe I’ll try to bring it back to life some time now that I can at least run NetBSD 1.0. Or maybe I’m getting ahead of myself. Installing NetBSD 1.0 on the Amiga is somewhat straight forward, providing you are doing this from a new Amiga. First just create a small-ish (15MB? Lol) partition for AmigaDOS, and make sure it is bootable. The work partition should be big enough to hold the compressed packages of NetBSD, I went with 60MB, while NetBSD 1.0 is a mere 15MB, well compressed of course.

After that you’ll want to create a ‘root’ partition of say 65MB, a 32MB swap partition and a giant /usr partition. I created a 384MB virtual hard disk, so my remainder is 209MB which is more than enough. From there you have to make sure that they are not set to auto mount, and edit the filesystem type to be the following: root partition: 0x4e425207 swap partition: 0x4e425301 other partitions: 0x4e425507 Where the ‘other’ is of course the /usr partition. Then with that in hand it is a simple matter of loading the boot loader from within AmigaDOS. The one weird thing I found is that while this part goes all fine, later on under NetBSD you can only mount AmigaDOS partitions read only, so how do you get a new kernel back onto the Amiga side? I suppose a working network, and a 2nd machine. Which would make sure, and of course NetBSD was built with the idea that everyone was collaborating over the internet so people would have net access.

So basically from within AmigaDOS you kick off the, and shove in a ‘‘ diskette. Next thing you know we are going through the install where it’ll pick up the partition tags, format the disk, and go ahead and install. Again another ‘trick’ is the partitioning scheme where NetBSD maps in the AmigaDOS partitions into NetBSD space. My install looks like this form the NetBSD side: NetBSD slices It may not seem too obvious but back here the ‘a’ partition is the root, ‘d’ is the AmigaDOS operating system partition while ‘e’ is the work partition where our install was saved. From there it really is NetBSD and it just acts like any other NetBSD. So of course I could prattle endlessly about this, how historic it is that NetBSD on the Amiga shows that the older hp300 port could not only be adapted to new platforms, but even eventually extended to support the 68040 processor which had a different and incompatible MMU.

For those of you are are impatient, you too can run NetBSD 1.0! You can find a pre-installed image. And just use the prior & from the WinUAE beta that included MMU support. Just alter the config so that it picks up the NetBSD disk. NetBSD 1.0 The only catch I’ve seen so far is that trying to bring up the ethernet adapter hangs the system.

Sadly I don’t have any fix for this as of yet. (edit: yes beta 4 and beyond work fine!) Author Posted on Categories,.

SMP support for Xen domU kernels, initial suspend/resume support for Xen domU, PCI pass-through support for Xen3, and addition of the balloon driver. Major rework of MIPS port adding support for SMP and 64-bit (O32, N32, N64 ABIs are supported) processors, DSP v2 ASE extension, various NetLogic/RMI processor models, Loongson family processors, and new SoC boards. Improved SMP on PowerPC port and added support for Book E Freescale MPC85xx (e500 core) processors. ARM has gained support for Cortex-A8 processors, various new SoCs, and initial support for Raspberry Pi. Full support for Raspberry Pi and major ARM improvements to come in a future NetBSD release. timet is now a 64-bit quantity on all NetBSD ports.

This means that the NetBSD world no longer ends in 2037. Interesting they addressed the 2038 issue And more SMP support Author Posted on Categories.

Well looking around on my sourceforge page, it hit me that I never did do a NetBSD 1.2 MicroVAX II package, so I thought I’d slap one together. I basically just followed my, and added in some that I’d built earlier. So for those who care,! From the package’s readme: Welcome to this minimal version of NetBSD 1.2 for the MicroVAX II. Getting started::::::::::::::: just fire up the emulator like this: vax.exe run.ini —–8vax.exe run.ini VAX simulator V3.8-1 run.ini set idle OLDVMS Non-existent device TS: creating new file Loading boot code from ka655x.bin?c KA655-B V5.3, VMB 2.7 Performing normal system tests.

Tests completed. —–8b/3 dua0 (BOOT/R5:3 DUA0 2.

Howto 0x3, bdev 0x11, bootingdone. (6) Nboot:ra(0,0)netbsd —–8 In unix they used keyboards with delete keys instead of backspaces Oh the horrors. SHUTTING DOWN::::::::::::: This should be simple, login as root and just issue the following command: reboot And you’ll get halted to the SIMH prompt from there you can just quit. NetBSD 1.2 MicroVAX II Author Posted on Categories,. Dungeon on the x68000 Its been a while since I’ve added a new port of Dungeon (zork!) so here we go!

Building f2c was a snap on the x68000, it just took a while. Getting data into the VM was easy, just make an ISO image, and mount it.

Getting data out was. A challenge, as the floppy doesn’t work under NetBSD, and it didn’t seem to want to see my other hard disks, just my root.

Well thankfully it’s virtual so I just did a: tar -cvf /dev/sd0c dungeon.tar.gz NEVER do that on a real machine kids!!! Anyways, for anyone who loves zork & the m68k! Author Posted on Categories,. While checking out the, I came across this interesting emulator, which can run the x68000 NetBSD port.

Wasting no time, I downloaded it, and quickly found out it is all in Japanese But hell that is what is for! Just be forwarned that it’ll translate things like: # memswitch -w boot.device=ROM; memswitch -w boot.romaddr=0xeac000 into # Boot.Device Memswitch-w = ROM; Memswitch-w = 0Xeac000 Boot.Romaddr I was able to get all the system bits, and get it to boot up the ROM! Sharp boot logo As you can see, I’m emulating a 68030 with MMU, running at a blazing 25Mhz with 12MB of ram! No doubt this is top of the line! So I generated the boot floppies as described on the XM6i page, and booted NetBSD. The boot loader on the x68000 looks kinda cool: Boot with the daemon!

Xm6i.r3372 For Mac Pro

And after waiting for an eternity, like a real machine I booted up, swapped disks, read some more and then watched the kernel initalize: NetBSD 5.1 68000 Installation is pretty straight forward, it is like any other NetBSD platform. Although it is.SLOW., even after I discovered the ‘turbo mode’ As shown below: Turbo mode!

Even in this mode, I’m running 220% faster than the real machine I’m sure there are more tweaks to do, but my not being able to read Japanese isn’t helping any. I figured for future’s sake, I’d just 7zip up what I have so far, maybe it’ll save some time for me later if I try this again. Getting & generating the ROMS was kind of involved. After an hour I had a base machine installed!

Of course it runs NetBSD! All my work is, and my NetBSD 5.1 install (to save yourself an hour+) is.

Both files will blow out a 2GB disk image FWIW. Also if you’ve never used a Japanese keyboard before, they aren’t quite QWERTY with symbol layouts This cheat sheet will help! If you don't know where the colon is, vi can be impossible to use. Author Posted on Categories, Posts navigation.
